NFL Power Rankings: Aaron Rodgers wasn't great, but it's not time to freak out about the Jets

For the past two seasons, the message with the New York Jets rarely changed. If they could just get good quarterback play, they’d be contenders.

Aaron Rodgers was back in Week 1, and unlike last season, his season debut lasted more than four snaps. But it mostly looked like the same old story with the Jets.

Rodgers led an offense that had just one effective drive for the first 43 minutes of the game as the San Francisco 49ers took a 26-7 lead. He threw another touchdown later to Allen Lazard that saved his night a bit, not that it mattered much in the 32-19 loss.
