The Los Angeles Rams are looking to not become the first team to lose to the New York Jets

Los Angeles Rams are coming into their Week 15 meeting with the New York Jets with a slim lead in the NFC West division. The Rams are welcoming a winless New York Jets team that has nothing to lose other than the number one pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Los Angeles cannot come into this football game and look past the New York Jets.

New York Jets are coming in to find their first win of the 2020 NFL Season. The Jets are ready for the 2020 NFL Season to be over and forget about it. A win against the Rams on Sunday impacts the Rams more than the Jets.
