Jets win 24-3 over Patriots for first 2-1 start since 2015Rodgers throws for 281 yards and two touchdowns
Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes in a superb homecoming performance, New York’s defense was dominant and the Jets rolled to a 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots in their home opener Thursday night.
Rodgers started his first game at MetLife Stadium since leaving the field just over a year ago with a torn achilles tendon in New York’s opener. The 40-year-old quarterback showed no signs of the injury – or playing in his third game in 11 days – while scrambling several times and making off-balance throws all night, slicing through New England’s defense with surgical precision.
