The real anticipation among New York Jets fans was for the home opener on Thursday night. It marked Rodgers' first game at home since his Achilles injury.
Last season, Rodgers' tenure with the Jets began with a notorious setback when he ruptured his Achilles at MetLife Stadium during his very first game sequence against the Buffalo Bills, a mere four snaps into his debut.
Thus, Jets supporters converged on MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, eager to witness Rodgers' performance in their Week 3 game against the AFC East rival New England Patriots. Rodgers lived up to expectations, delivering an impressive performance.
Aaron Rodgers finished the game with 27/35, 281 yards, and 2 TDs, and the Jets won 24-3 against the Patriots.
