Why you should back the Jets
After earning his first win as New York’s starting quarterback, future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers will look to build off that success against the Patriots. Rodgers is 2-1 all-time as a starter against New England. In the win over Tennessee, he completed 18 of 30 passes (60%) for 176 yards and two scores. He also had a TD in the loss at San Francisco on Sept. 9.
Rodgers’ top target has been wide receiver Garrett Wilson. For the season, he has 10 receptions for 117 yards, including one explosive play of 26 yards. He has also converted six first downs. He has played in 36 career games and has recorded 188 catches for 2,262 yards (12.0 average) with seven TDs. See which team to pick here.
