Commanders vs. Jets GAMEDAY: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The New York Jets host the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium this afternoon in a matchup between two teams who are already looking forward to next season.
Both teams are out of the playoff picture in their respective conferences and coming off losses just hoping to build some momentum into the offseason.
New York lost 30-0 last week to division rival Miami after an impressive 30-6 showing in a win over Houston the week prior. But the Jets have lost six of their last seven and sit in third place in the AFC East.

Washington is riding a five-game losing streak with its last win coming against the Patriots on Nov. 5 at Gillette Stadium.
On the field, it's a matchup of worst vs. worst. The Commanders' 32nd-ranked defense vs. the Jets' 32nd-ranked offense. Washington's defense has allowed a league-ghit 387 points against an offense that has scored an NFL-low 13 touchdowns. Trevor Siemian will start for the Jets in place of a concussed Zach Wilson.
Washington will be without running back Brian Robinson Jr. for a second straight game because of a hamstring injury. The Commanders will also be without two of their starting offensive linemen in left tackle Charles Leno, who is dealing with a calf injury and center Tyler Larsen, who has a knee injury.
The Jets activated quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the IR while he continues to recover from an Achilles tear suffered in Week 1, but he will not play this season.
