GLENDALE, Ariz. — In explaining the New York Jets’ most lopsided loss of the season — and their ill-fated season as a whole — a visibly frustrated Aaron Rodgers cut it short.

As were most of his passes in Sunday’s 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium.

Rodgers, 3-7 for the first time in his two-decade career, admittedly held back his feelings as he stood on the podium after one of his worst statistical performances ever.

“There have definitely been a lot of emotions this year,” he said.

Asked for further explanation, Rodgers said: “I’m not going to do that.”

Why not?

“A lot of different emotions,” he said. ‘That is a loaded answer, but it is not the time or place to go into it now. But at some point I’ll give you a better answer.’

Rodgers, who saw the Jets as a Super Bowl contender, has presided over one of the most disappointing seasons in recent franchise history. While the Jets haven’t been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, their 14th consecutive non-playoff season is all but assured.

The Jets traded for Rodgers last year to make them winners, but the plan backfired. Wide receiver Davante Adams, his good friend, said he’s trying to “work with (Rodgers) to make sure he keeps his mind straight as much as possible because it’s hard. If Michael Jordan was on this team, he wouldn’t be happy.”

The embarrassing loss certainly wasn’t Rodgers’ fault — the defense missed 20 tackles, according to Next Gen Stats — but his lack of production against the 24th-ranked pass defense was alarming.

Rodgers (22-for-35) passed for a season-low 151 yards and completed just one pass that traveled more than 10 yards in the air. His 4.3 yards per attempt was his worst mark in any start with multiple pass attempts since 2019; it was the fourth lowest of his career. His longest completion lasted just 15 yards, a dump to running back Breece Hall. This was one of only four games this season in which a team did not have a play of at least 16 yards.

At times he seemed hesitant to pull the trigger on downfield throws. He attempted only two passes for 20 yards, both incomplete.

“We had a few chances,” Rodgers said. “I missed the spot a few times. I don’t think we handled the noise and empty pressure they brought well.”

The worst sequence came on the Jets’ first drive of the third quarter. They had a second-and-goal from the Arizona 3-yard line, and Rodgers threw three straight incomplete passes. On one of them, he failed to spot tight end Tyler Conklin, who was open in the end zone.

Rodgers targeted Adams 13 times in the game, but they only connected for 31 yards on six of them. The Rodgers-Adams reunion should have sparked the offense, but they failed to recreate the incredible chemistry they had with the Green Bay Packers.

Afterwards, both players complained about a lack of energy in the team – a bugaboo that emerged a few weeks ago.

“I thought after a big win Thursday night, a nice long week, we were going to come out with a lot of energy and win the game, and we didn’t come out with a lot of energy on either side of the ball,” said Rodgers, who averages just 226 passing yards per game.

Wide receiver Garrett Wilson said, “(The) energy isn’t there because we’re playing, we’re playing like garbage. So that’s how I see it.”

The once formidable defense was the main culprit, as the Cardinals opened the game with five consecutive scoring drives – including touchdown drives of 70, 70, 70 and 88 yards. Quarterback Kyler Murray completed 22 of 24 passes for 266 yards, including a franchise-record 17 consecutive completions to end the game.

The most egregious mistake came in the second quarter, when the Cardinals still had a 14-6 lead. Cornerback Sauce Gardner missed a tackle on tight end Trey McBride on a third-down play. Instead of punting, Arizona marched for a touchdown to make it 21-6.

“I have to make that tackle,” Gardner said several times.

Jeff Ulbrich, who fell to 1-4 as interim coach, took the heat for his players.

“We didn’t execute even close to our standard, and that falls 100 percent on my shoulders,” he said. “I didn’t prepare these guys well enough.”

Ulbrich said he would look inward for answers because “something wasn’t right.” He didn’t question the effort or the physicality, just the execution. In fact, the Jets were defeated by a 2-to-1 margin: 406 to 207.

Afterwards, Rodgers didn’t want to get into a discussion about the state of the franchise. He attributed the poor performance to poor situational football.

“We were just really bad,” he said.
