Fri Sep 20 11:38:57 UTC 2024: ## Rodgers Shows He’s Still Got It, Leading Jets to Dominant Win Over Patriots
**East Rutherford, NJ** – Aaron Rodgers proved he’s still got it, leading the New York Jets to a convincing 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday night. The veteran quarterback showcased his trademark accuracy and mobility, throwing for 281 yards and two touchdowns while adding 18 yards on the ground.
Rodgers’ performance was especially impressive considering he’s returning from a torn Achilles suffered in the 2023 season opener. He stated that he felt like his 2019 self, saying “This was kind of the first step in playing like I know I’m capable of playing… I felt like I was myself from five years ago.”
Jets head coach Robert Saleh echoed Rodgers’ sentiment, praising his mental prowess and athleticism. “His mind is operating at a high level… He showed the mobility that we’ve been seeing throughout training camp. He may not be what he used to be, but he still has plenty in those legs and his arm is still 30, and his mind is still operating at a high level.”
Rodgers’ arrival has brought a much-needed sense of stability to the quarterback position for the Jets, a team that has been plagued by inconsistency in recent years. The team’s 13-year playoff drought is a testament to their struggles, but Rodgers’ strong start has ignited hope for a turnaround. The Jets have now won two games in a row, and with Rodgers leading the charge, the future looks promising.
