Aaron Rodgers Critical Of Himself After 10-9 Loss To Denver Broncos

The New York Jets reverted to the mean in Sunday’s disappointing loss to the Denver Broncos, whose quarterback only threw for 60 yards. The offense did not score a touchdown for just the fifth time in quarterback Aaron Rodgers‘ career, and the noise inside and outside the locker room grows noisier by the day.

Former offensive rookie of the year wide receiver Garrett Wilson gave his opinion on the play-calling this week, stating, “I don’t think we do a lot of different stuff, to be honest,” Wilson said of the team’s offense. “When I watch football on Sundays, I see a lot of teams who mix it up and stuff like that. I don’t feel like we do that. I think we know our identity. It’s just about going out and executing it or figuring out if it’s going to work.”

However, Rodgers took some blame after the loss, saying, “The weather sucked, but so did some of my throws.”

The 40-year-old quarterback does not seem fully healthy. He seemed to pick up a knock on Sunday, as he only did individual drills during Jets practice on Wednesday. Long-time NFL veteran Tyrod Taylor is the Jets backup QB.

However, Rodgers knows that health does not excuse the offense’s terrible performance against Denver. The Jets only put up 248 yards of total offense on 70 snaps, good for 3.5 yards per play. They only recorded 16 first downs and turned the ball over, leading to an inefficient afternoon. Coming into the game, Gang Green was an 8.5 favorite, according to ESPN Bet, as they looked like playoff contenders in their blowout win against the New England Patriots the week before.

New York’s schedule does not get any easier as they cross the pond for a contest in England against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. Currently, the Vikings are listed as 2.5-point favorites.
