Rodgers was honest, but fair in his postgame comments.
The New York Jets missed out on a golden opportunity to elevate themselves into the AFC East race by falling to the Buffalo Bills, 23-20, onThey squandered several chances to get the biggest win of Aaron Rodgers's disappointing tenure, including two errant field goal attempts by Greg Zuerlein and a late, underthrown interception by Rodgers.
Those data points were brought up by the quarterback postgame—as well as his feeling that Mike Williams ran the wrong route on the fateful turnover.These comments seem fair. The Jets are trying to make the playoffs and ultimately win a Super Bowl. Rodgers's window is not going to be open for too much longer. Kickers know they need to make kicks and wideouts know the importance of running the correct route.
If there is a bright spot, the Jets played 60 competitive minutes against a very good football team. The offense also looked pretty good outside of the red-zone struggles. Winning cures all ails and can stop a narrative moment. Rodgers will get another chance to change the conversation when he tangles with the Pittsburgh Steelers in primetime on Sunday.Kyle Koster is an assistant managing editor at Sports Illustrated covering the intersection of sports and media.
