AFC picture: How Aaron Rodgers’ injury affects Raiders

It was an extremely eventful Week 1 in the AFC and it ended Monday night with a devastating injury to star New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The future Pro Football Hall of Famer suffered a season-ending torn Achilles injury on the first drive of his first game with the Jets. Rodgers’ trade from the Green Bay Packers to the Jets was the biggest storyline of the NFL this offseason and it all ended in a flash in Week 1.

Of course, Rodger’s injury will affect the entire league, especially the AFC. Rodgers’ presence was expected to make the Jets a Super Bowl contender.
