FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- On Monday night, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers heaved a football toward the stars and watched as it landed safely in the arms of wide receiver Allen Lazard for a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills -- a vintage Hail Mary.
Twelve hours later, owner Woody Johnson and his front office tried their own Hail Mary, finalizing a trade for wide receiver Davante Adams to rescue their slumping 2-4 team. Will the stars smile on them again?
No one can say for sure, but it's clear that Johnson won't give up on this season of great expectations.
