The New York Jetsā poor season in the NFL is slowly starting to improve in some way, at least in terms of results. The Jacksonville Jaguars were seen as the team to beat, and the Jets finally managed to do so. Aaron Rodgers, a key figure in this victory, made it clear all the work that went into this impressive win.
After defeating Doug Pedersonās team 32-25 on the road, the Jets reached a record of 4 wins and 10 losses, moving out of last place in the AFC East and leaving the Patriots in that position.
Once the game concluded, Aaron Rodgers took the time to speak with the press and made it clear how important his preparation over the past months was in leading his team on the ground, something that hadnāt happened in a long time.
āI mean, you guys probably know better, but itās been a long time since Iāve led a team in rushing. I take a lot of pride in my minimal athleticism,ā the experienced QB told to the media.
āBut this is what Iāve trained so hard for during those nine months,ā continued Rodgers. āObviously I feel a lot better, you guys know it, youāve seen it the last few weeks.ā
