Aaron Rodgers had a message for ‘agonized’ Jets fans after dominant win over the Patriots

Everything went in favor of the New York Jets on Thursday night as quarterback Aaron Rodgers led his team to a surefire 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium.

Rodgers, who threw for 281 yards and had two scores on 27 of 35 passing, was a guest on the postgame broadcast to deliver a message to Jets fans after the team improved its season record to 2-1.

“We’re trying to change this whole attitude here. We’re trying to build something special here,” Rodgers told Prime video Sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung. “Make these fans believe in us; they’ve been tortured for a long time. Last year was obviously a tough year. But it’s good to be back. It’s good to be healthy.”

After missing all but four snaps last season due to a torn Achilles tendon, Rodgers appears to be finding his groove as the 2024 campaign progresses. He was limited to 167 passing yards in the Jets’ season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but rebounded in Week 2 to throw two touchdown passes and shut out the Tennessee Titans.

The 40-year-old quarterback looked his best Thursday night, delivering deadly accurate passes on the run. Vintage Rodgers.

“It’s great to be a Jet,” Rodgers said. “It’s great to have nights like this, and even better to have a weekend off.”

The Jets, now 2-1, will rest this weekend and begin preparing for their Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos next week.
