The New York Jets' 2024 schedule was released along with the rest of the NFL slate Wednesday:
The Aaron Rodgers Effect is real. Yes, still. The Jets have six prime-time games, the maximum allowed by the league, plus another standalone game in London against the Vikings. We're talking seven standalone games in the first 11 weeks of the season. Clearly, the networks are betting that the 40-year-old quarterback will stay on the field after missing all but four snaps last season due to a torn Achilles.
No doubt, ownership and the marketing department love the national exposure, but it puts added stress on the football operation, especially with the prime-time games creating four short weeks.
