The Los Angeles Chargers take on the winless New York Jets at the SoFi Field in Week 11 on Sunday.
Both sides have lost their last 3 games in a row.
The Jets (0-9) played an uncharacteristic nail-biter against the New England Patriots in Week 10, which they lost by three points after they failed to score a single point in the fourth quarter. By comparison, the Patriots scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
The Chargers (2-7) are coming off a 29-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 10, which featured a matchup of two rookie quarterbacks: Miami's Tua Tagovailoa and the L.A.'s Justin Herbert. The Chargers were never in the game from the beginning, as they ended the first half with a 10-point deficit. They did mount a second-half comeback, but it was too late to make a difference.
