Aaron Rodgers warns NFL of Jets’ looming defeat to Patriots

Aaron Rodgers has issued an ominous warning to the rest of the NFL about his blossoming relationship with his Jets receivers.

That happened after the quarterback, along with Allen Lazard and Garrett Wilson, scored touchdowns as the New York Jets beat the New England Patriots 24-3 on Thursday.

The home win came 12 months after Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon just four plays into his Jets debut against the Bills at MetLife Stadium.

However, the 40-year-old quarterback, who had a tense exchange with coach Robert Saleh on the sideline, showed no signs of the injury as he sliced ​​through the New England defense with surgical precision.

Rodgers threw 27 of 35 times for 281 yards and threw touchdowns to Wilson and Lazard. There were shouts of “Aa-ron! Rod-gers!” the whole time.

Lazard’s touchdown continued the receiver’s ascent in New Jersey after a disappointing first season in which he struggled without Rodgers at quarterback.

Rodgers and Lazard, who signed a four-year, $44 million contract last year, have built a strong partnership with the Packers and the early signs are positive for this season.

Last season he managed just 23 receptions on 49 targets and 311 yards. This time he already has three touchdowns.

Asked after the game about his relationship with Lazard and Wilson, Rodgers told Amazon Prime: “I think that’s just the beauty of this game. I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of it for so long.

‘Allen and I have a really good understanding and if 5 (Wilson’s number) and I are on the same wavelength, then that’s extra special.’

New York, which ended a 15-game losing streak against New England in Bill Belichick’s final game as coach of the Patriots, tackled Jacoby Brissett five times in a dominant defense.

Breece Hall also scored a goal for the Jets, who ended a six-game losing streak on Thursday night.

Rodgers continued: “It felt great to be able to play a whole game in front of our great fans. Division opponent. We started faster than we’ve ever been.

“We were a lot more efficient, we got a lot of guys involved, a lot of guys made a lot of plays tonight. The line did a great job up front. We had to finish plays, but we did a good job.

“I felt pretty good tonight. I did some of the things I did when I was younger. I said as the games go on I’m going to get more comfortable moving around and there were a couple of times where I had to extend plays.

“The line held up well, I extended a few to keep drives going and sometimes in games like this you need those little extra plays. I used to do a lot of that when I was younger and it’s nice to have that element back.

“We’re trying to change this whole attitude here. We’re trying to build something special here and make these fans believe in us.

“They’ve been tortured for a long time. Last year was a tough year, of course, but it’s good to be back, good to be healthy.

“Again, I’m grateful for the many people who have made me healthy and gotten me to this point. But it’s great to be a Jet, great to have nights like this and even better to have a weekend off.”
