Whitworth for sure being injured. He is the anchor to the offensive line and his absence most likely has a great effect on the performance of the offense.
The Jet's defensive line dominated the Rams offensive line in the 1st half. That's not about leadership, that's about imposing your will.
In the big picture of things the loss was probably more beneficial than a close win against an overmatched team. Hopefully this loss will end "elite D" talk.
