Thursday Night Football: Aaron Rodgers, Will McDonald Give Jets 14-3 Halftime Lead

Jets fans enjoy Thursday Night Football.

Just over a year after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon on the fourth play of the season, the quarterback showed he still has what it takes at age 40. Rodgers put on a clinic in the first half, completing 15 of 20 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown.

The Jets lead 14-3 and outscore the Patriots 252-40.

Rodgers threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard, and Breece Hall scored on a 1-yard run. Rodgers led the Jets on a 12-play, 59-yard drive at the end of the half, but Greg Zuerlein missed a 45-yard field goal wide left.

Eight different players caught a pass from Rodgers tonight, with Lazard leading the way with three catches for 48 yards.

Hall has 11 carries for 43 yards.

Not to be outdone, the Jets defense has three sacks against a depleted Patriots offensive line. Will McDonald has 1.5 of the sacks, giving him 4.5 for the season.

New England is averaging 2.2 yards per play.
