EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—If the New York Jets‘ 2023 home-opener was the cliffhanger, the 2024 version set the stage for the star. Playing in front of the fans at MetLife Stadium, Aaron Rodgers cut through the New England Patriots with pinpoint precision.
His 281 yards and two touchdowns on 27 of 35 passing led the Jets to a dominant 24-3 victory over the Pats.

Unlike Week 1 in San Francisco and Week 2 in Tennessee, the Jets offense featured an open and quite empty look from the jump.
