The New York Jets are 2-6 entering a "Thursday Night Football" matchup in Week 9 with the Houston Texans. A trade for Davante Adams hasn't turned the season around, with two losses since the deal, including last week's fourth-quarter collapse against the New England Patriots.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who came to the team in a trade during the 2023 offseason, missed all but a few plays last year after a season-ending Achilles injury and hasn't rebounded. He is on track for a career-high in interceptions this year and career-lows in completion percentage and passer rating.
