Aaron Rodgers shone under the lights as the New York Jets eventually beat the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium, capping a disastrous season.
On Thursday Night Football, Rodgers and the Jets demolished the struggling Patriots.
Rodgers passed for 273 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Jets to a 24-3 victory, snapping an eight-game home losing streak against their division rivals.
On the game's second play, Rodgers turned left, pump-faked, and rushed for a first down.
It was vintage Rodgers, giving the Patriots a preview of what was to come,
while Jets supporters jammed into an atmospheric MetLife Stadium let out an emotional yell. This is what they'd been waiting for.
However, the New England defense, which has excelled so much in the early stages of the season,
forced a punt on the Jets' first drive, which did not deter the ecstatic Jets fans who were eager to watch the vaunted defense.
