Aaron Rodgers was closing in on his third MVP award, and the 2020 Jets were closing in on Trevor Lawrence the last time they played the Rams.&nbsp;

A game that would change the course of Jets history.&nbsp;

The Adam Gase Jets were 0-13 and 17-point underdogs at SoFi Stadium when they stunned the Rams, 23-20, and watched the Jaguars move in front of them because of an easier strength of schedule. The Jags refused to relinquish the first-overall pick of the 2021 draft.&nbsp;

“Hey, our job is to try to go out and win every week,” Gase said afterward, much to the chagrin of Jets fans.&nbsp;

The 1-15 Jaguars drafted Trevor Lawrence first overall, and Joe Douglas had to settle for Zach Wilson with the second pick instead. {ai:summary}<p>In a surprising upset, the 0-13 Jets defeated the Rams 23-20, impacting their draft position for the 2021 NFL Draft.
