It is been a wonderful first half for those who choose to spend part of Christmas Eve at MetLife Stadium, even though Jets supporters have not had much to celebrate this year.

sprinting back The Jets lead the Commanders 27-7 at halftime after Breece Hall scored his second touchdown of the game shortly after the two-minute warning. Hall has gained 42 yards overall by catching three receptions and running 13 times for 83 yards.

With slightly more than five minutes remaining, Hall’s first score gave the Jets a 17-0 lead. security The game’s second play resulted in a field goal after Tony Adams intercepted a pass from Sam Howell. The following drive ended in a three-and-out for the Commanders, and Trevor Siemian’s touchdown pass was made possible by Jermaine Johnson’s blocked punt.

With a lengthy punt return, Jamison Crowder appeared to put the Commanders in ideal field position as the team began to have a little more success. However, the veteran dropped the ball while dodging tackles, which resulted in the second turnover of the day for the Commanders. Before the half, Washington also suffered injuries that claimed the lives of right tackle Andrew Wylie and safety Percy Butler.

All of it has added up to a lump of coal in Washington’s stocking during a season full of them, barring a touchdown run by Chris Rodriguez.
