The Jets’ defense is pumped about trying to stop Aaron Rodgers on Sunday. Todd Bowles, not so much.
“No,” Bowles said of the Packers’ quarterback before breaking out a hearty laugh, a rare of sign of emotion from the stoic coach. “Not at all . . . You never look forward to going against the great ones.”
Coaches generally like the challenge. But playing a surefire future Hall of Fame quarterback leads to many sleepless nights for a coach, especially one who could be overseeing his final home game Sunday.
For Bowles and the Jets, they’ll end the season facing two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time — Rodgers this week and the Patriots’ Tom Brady next week.
