Rodgers caps brief Jets preseason debut with TD pass vs. Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Aaron Rodgers' much-anticipated debut Saturday night was brief, but effective - and he barely got touched.
In other words, it was a successful night for the New York Jets, who faced the New York Giants in their annual preseason game at Met Life Stadium.
Saying "you can't coach scared," coach Robert Saleh played the 39-year-old quarterback in the Jets' final exhibition game because he wanted him to get acclimated to the stadium and his new teammates before the season opener - a decision that sent shivers through a fan base that has witnessed many quarterback injuries over the years.
