The New York Jets saw a flash of why they paid handsomely to trade for Aaron Rodgers,
the flash of why their hopes were so high last season before he tore his Achilles
while a flash of why Rodgers' replacement of predecessor Zach Wilson this year was a drastic enough change to ignite a spark.
Rodgers dropped back, ignoring the pocket that was shrinking around him. He treated running back Breece Hall like the receiver he was impersonating
when Hall scored a 26-yard touchdown on a disputed end-zone grab.
The Jets gained their first lead of the game with 12:13 left in the third quarter.
The Jets eventually defeated the Tennessee Titans 24-17 to get back to.500 before facing the New England Patriots in a divisional game on Thursday night.
They accomplished this despite a failing passing game, particularly a sputtering downfield passing game.
Rodgers completed just three passes of more than nine air yards on an 18-of-30 day, totaling 176 yards and two touchdowns. However, a solid performance from the Jets'
Rushing back duo, along with a boom-or-bust day from Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis, gave the Jets the advantage.
