New York tabloids had a field day with Jets’ first win (and possibly losing Trevor Lawrence)

The New York Jets were in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft and the chance to take stud Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence.

But they somehow went on the road to visit the Los Angeles Rams and WON. It was a nightmare for Jets fans, although if they end up with Ohio State’s Justin Fields, it’s not the worst consolation prize.

But of course the New York tabloids — as they always do —  had to cover the potential loss of Lawrence with their punny back covers.

Let’s start with the New York Post, which did a play on the name of Lawrence Welk the bandleader and TV host. I’m not sure how many younger people would get that, but it’s a decent pun once you get it:

I like the Daily News back cover, with a play on a Christmas classic:

Sorry, Jets fans.
