EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Bryce Petty jogged onto the field to a standing ovation from excited New York Jets fans eager to see him make his first NFL start.When it was all over, they left the stadium disappointed.Petty was intercepted by Alec Ogletree with just under two minutes left, lifting the Los Angeles Rams to a 9-6 victory over the Jets.Im not going to let this define my career, Petty said. Im not going to let this define me.Petty started in place of an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick, a move many fans and media had been clamoring for for weeks. But after a solid first few drives, Petty and the Jets couldnt get much going against the Rams defense.I really cant wait to go back and watch film, Petty said, learn from this and get better from it.The Jets dropped to 3-7 and their playoff hopes are just about over. Their quarterback situation remains uncertain, with coach Todd Bowles unwilling to commit to either Petty or Fitzpatrick as the starter for New Yorks next game against New England in two weeks following a bye-week break.Well evaluate that next week, Bowles said. Weve got the bye week to evaluate that and well see how Fitz feels. Well watch the film on Bryce and well make the determination next week.Fitzpatrick was listed as questionable with a sprained left knee , suffered last weekend at Miami. Bowles said throughout the week Fitzpatrick would remain the starter for Sundays game -- as long as he was healthy enough to play. The two split first-team snaps during practice all week.Fitz wasnt completely healthy, Bowles said. Although he took reps in practice, Bryce took the `important reps.Fitzpatrick was active for the game and served as Pettys backup, while rookie Christian Hackenberg was inactive.I wanted to start, Fitzpatrick said, but theres a lot of things that go into the decision.Fitzpatrick tried to prove to the coaches and medical staff before the game that he was ready to play, but they determined he would sit out and would play only in an emergency.That put Petty under center, the 29th quarterback to start for the franchise since Joe Namaths final games with the Jets in 1976.He made some good throws, Bowles said of Petty. Hes got some growing pains. He ran out there for the first time and from a composure standpoint, he was fine. Hes just got to clean up a few things.After getting the ball with 2:55 remaining and down by three, Petty tried to lead the Jets downfield. But on second-and-7 from the New York 42, Pettys pass to Quincy Enunwa was picked off by Ogletree. Enunwa tried to wrestle it away from the linebacker to no avail, and Case Keenum took three knees to end it.This one hurts, Petty said. Kind of took this one on the chin for myself. I wanted a better outcome, but I love this game.Petty, a fourth-round draft pick out of Baylor last year, went 19 of 32 for 163 yards with a touchdown and the loss-sealing interception.This is hopefully the beginning of a long career for me, Petty said. Its at least what I anticipate, what I want. Theres things youve got to learn.Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals, including a go-ahead 34-yarder with 6:52 left, helping the Rams (4-5) snap a four-game losing streak and avoid their first five-game skid since weeks 9-13 last season.The game featured 15 punts -- eight by the Jets and seven by the Rams -- as neither offense were the models of efficiency or excitement. New York finished with 296 yards of total offense, while the Rams had 280.Petty drove the Jets 99 yards on the Jets second possession, finishing with his first NFL TD pass with a little razzle-dazzle on a toss to Brandon Marshall, who flipped it to Bilal Powell for a 4-yard score.I think he was efficient, Marshall said. Hell get better, and well continue to make plays for him.But Petty misfired on a long pass on third-and-14 from the Rams 32 that couldve been an easy touchdown in the closing minute of the first half. He slightly overthrew Robby Anderson, who was wide open but had to reach high as the ball tipped off his hand.Ive got to hit that, Petty said. Ive got to make that as easy as possible. I wish I had that one back. Those are the plays in this kind of game that youve got to make. I missed that.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLJonah Williams Jersey .com) - Yankee Stadium is the home of the Bronx Bombers, but on Sunday afternoon it will open its gates to host the latest addition of the Hudson River Rivalry.

Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. Every offseason, Football Outsiders compiles a list of unheralded players who have the chance to become stars or major contributors. We use certain criteria to find the best young players who werent high draft picks and still havent had too much playing time but could be on track to become significant contributors.What would that list look like now, as opposed to in the next offseason?What follows is our list of top 25 prospects, based on players who would qualify right now. Some of these players could play their way off the list as their snap counts rise over the final eight weeks of the season, while others might still be fairly unknown when we get to next years training camp. But all of them are players to watch in the NFL going forward.The criteria:Third-round pick or lower (or undrafted) from the 2014-16 classes500 or fewer offensive or defensive career snaps through Week 10No signed contract extensionAge 26 or youngerIn the past, weve found players such as Arian Foster, Geno Atkins?and Jamaal Charles on our list. Our 2016 offseason list already has graduates including David Johnson, Danielle Hunter, Jordan Hicks?and Grady Jarrett making big impacts.Heres who we like now:1. Jay Ajayi, RB, Miami Dolphins436 offensive snaps | Fifth-round pick (2015)Nothing spellls out the roller-coaster nature of NFL life better than Ajayis past two seasons.dddddddddddd He went from looking like a first- or second-round pick to dropping out of the first two days of the draft due to a lack of cartilage in his knee. He finally had a chance to be a starter when Lamar Miller left Miami, but the Dolphins immediately blocked him with an aging Arian Foster. When Ajayi pouted about it, he was left behind for Week 1 in Seattle.Then the Dolphins figured out what draftniks knew: Ajayi was actually good. He rolled over the Steelers for 204 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6, and since then, the Dolphins have made him the centerpiece of their offense, rolling to four straight wins as theyve limited Ryan Tannehills snaps behind a bad pass-blocking line. Right now, Ajayi leads the NFL in rushing value,?according to Football Outsiders DVOA and DYAR metrics. The past five weeks, Ajayi is third in the NFL with 21 broken tackles, even though Miami has played only four games in that time. Ajayi is a victory for believing in an individual players talent because despite all the jibber-jabber around his career, his talent won out. ' ' '
