Jets Q&A: Kacy Rodgers was at the game as "casual observer"

Was Kacy Rodgers at the game and what was his role?

The Jets' ailing defensive coordinator was inside MetLife Stadium, and served as “a casual observer,” according to Todd Bowles. But Rodgers was much more than that.

Rodgers, who has a serious illness that has kept him from coaching the last two games, served as an inspirational leader for the second straight week. He didn’t attend last week’s game, but on Sunday he was on the field while the players were stretching and walked around the locker room talking to each of them individually before the game.
