FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- One day later, the New York Jets still were buzzing about Aaron Rodgers -- his impromptu throwing session before the game, his role on the sideline and his potential impact in the coming weeks.

"His superpower is his presence," coach Robert Saleh said Monday. "Him being in this building, being around his teammates, being in the locker room, his positive attitude, his thoughts of manifestation and all that stuff, I think it's powerful."

Rodgers, only five weeks removed from surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, stunned onlookers by showing up to MetLife Stadium Sunday without crutches and throwing for five minutes on the field about two hours before the 20-14 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles.
