If you had told me that a critical coaching mistake would decide the outcome of this game, I would have bet money it would be Mike Martz. But it was Herm Edwards who made the mistake by going for a 2-point conversion in the 3rd quarter, with the lead. It allowed the Rams to convert a 2-pointer of their own in the 4th quarter and then play for a tying field goal, instead of forcing them to go for the TD.
It was a fun game to watch and both teams played well. There was a playoff atmosphere. But in the end, the Jets showed they are still not in that elite class of teams. And the Rams showed that they can still play wide-open and win against good teams.
The Jets' loss did not affect their playoff position, however, as the Bills lost to the Steelers. The Rams eliminated the Saints and clinched the final NFC playoff spot for themselves.
