Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers completed 27-of-35 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets’ 24-3, Week 3 win over the Patriots.

After making a modest leap from Week 1 to Week 2, Rodgers went into hyperdrive this evening, spinning the ball with his signature flair and accuracy while using his legs surprisingly often. Although he rushed only three times for 18 yards, Rodgers appeared quite comfortable rolling out, and was not afraid to get hit. He also spread the ball around the Jets’ thin skill corps, finding six different players for at least three receptions. Physically, he looked far ahead of what we’ve seen from Kirk Cousins. Truly “vintage” Rodgers is never going to come back, but tonight was also closer than many observers probably assumed we would see. We would like to say Rodgers has some Week 4 streaming juice, but the Broncos aren’t an amazing matchup. The same is true of the Vikings in Week 5.
