VIDEO: Jets Safety Jamal Adams Ruthlessly Taunted Steelers After Incomplete Pass
By Karl Rasmussen
The New York Jets aren't fighting for much, but they're sure enjoying bringing fringe playoff teams down with them as they close out the season. While the Jets won't be appearing in the postseason, they did their very best on Sunday to ensure the Steelers would also be coming up short. And from the looks of it, they had a ton of fun in doing so. Jamal Adams was particularly cheerful after the defense came away with a third down stop.

After Mason Rudolph's throw bounced off the hands of Jaylen Samuels, Adams was absolutely jubilant. The Pro Bowl safety quite literally pointed and laughed in the face of Samuels after the drop which led to a fourth down.
It was the Jets who got the last laugh in this one, beating the Steelers 16-10 and damaging their playoff hopes. It's no wonder Adams was feeling himself after this play.
Team captain Jamal Adams (@TheAdamsEra) became the first #Jets safety with back-to-back Pro Bowl starting appearances since Erik McMillan (1988-89). The Pro Bowl starter currently leads the team in tackles (77), FFs (2), PDs (7), defensive TDs (2), and QB hits (14). pic.twitter.com/V8OPCtXtom

Jets fans may prefer to tank and earn a better draft pick, but you best not tell that to President Mal.
