It is easy to forget at this point, but Aaron Rodgers looked pretty solid in his New York Jets return. In fact, it ended up being one of his best games as a Jet.
New York just couldn’t get the football in his hands.
The Jets’ season-opening trip to San Francisco started promisingly. In the first quarter, Rodgers led a beautiful 12-play, 70-yard drive that culminated in a Breece Hall touchdown run, giving New York a 7-3 lead.
That momentary sliver of hope was dragged into the abyss by a putrid defensive performance that minimized the offense’s chances of building on its momentum.
