After an offseason of excitement, the New York Jets' hopes were dashed just four offensive plays into the 2023 NFL season. Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers sustained a torn Achilles, putting the team in the exact same spot it was in last season.
It was a disappointing development for a number of reasons. Rodgers was looking to prove he still had plenty in the tank after finally getting out of Green Bay. The Jets' young stars — Breece Hall, Ahmad Gardner and Garrett Wilson — were pumped to have a quarterback who could lead the team to the Super Bowl.
