The Browns were set to host Aaron Rodgers in Week 17 on Thursday Night Football.
Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP in his 18 seasons in Green Bay, raised the hopes and expectations Jets fans during his introductory press conference when he observed that the team’s single Super Bowl trophy looked lonely.
Some NFL experts even picked the Jets to win the AFC East this season, and many predicted they’d give the defending division champion Bills a run for their money.on Tuesday morning, “the Jets are not serious contenders anymore” without their future Hall of Fame quarterback. Granted, they beat the Bills Monday night thanks to four turnovers — including three interceptions — by Josh Allen. But the Jets needed a championship-caliber quarterback to complement their No. 4 ranked defense — one that also finished fourth with only 18.6 points allowed, and their excellent special teams.
“They kind of went from Super Bowl favorites to not even really contenders when you lose your star quarterback,” Thomas said When you looked at last season, the Jets defense and special teams were like the best in the NFL by a longshot. And the fact that they were bad was almost like physically impossible, based on historical trends in the NFL, and so the fact that like now they legit had a quarterback that would take them to the Super Bowl and they lost him before he even completed one pass.
