How important was the New York Jets’ victory over the Los Angeles Rams to the Jacksonville Jaguars? The mayor of the Florida city took to social media to gloat … after the Jags had been annihilated by the Ravens on the same Sunday to drop to 1-13.
Why? Because the Jets’ win puts the Jags in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lose out and Trevor Lawrence falls in your lap thanks to the Jets stunning the Rams.
THE New York freaking Jets @nyjets delivered an early Christmas present to Jacksonville today. Seriously, this Jets win could be a defining moment for our ball club. See you next week then see you at the draft. This is the win of the day #GMFB @gmfb

Later, Curry felt the need to explain — clarify — his position.
Celebrating a @nyjets win is not celebrating a @Jaguars loss. If you don’t see the difference, no one can reason with you. We are now positioned for the 1st pick. Be well keyboard tough guys. Let’s go.

So again, heck yeah I’m pumped the @nyjets lost. And you should be if you are a @Jaguars fan. Be smart and get nuance.
