FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Robert Saleh chuckled as a reporter finished asking a question that was no laughing matter a year ago.
Did the New York Jets coach think he -- and perhaps the rest of the franchise -- might exhale a bit when Aaron Rodgers and the offense reach the fifth snap of their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night?
"Probably," Saleh said Thursday while looking down and smiling. "Nah, we're fine."
Saleh then went to use a popular expression when he apparently realized he didn't want to jinx anything.
