For his 41st birthday, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was given a reprieve.

Despite a nightmarish season, Rodgers will remain the starter for what could be the final five games of his illustrious career, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Monday morning.

Ulbrich, who created doubt with a lukewarm endorsement after Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, said Rodgers still can play at a "high level" and gives the spiraling Jets (3-9) the best chance to win.

Rodgers' Hall-of-Fame pedigree also factored into the decision.
