Aaron Rodgers to make Jets debut vs. Bills on Monday Night Football
Throughout much of the early offseason, the New York Jets remain the talk of the league. Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ arrival has put The Jets on the map as one of the NFL’s most intriguing teams. All that hype and buzz has pushed the Jets toward the spotlight in Week 1 with a matchup against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night football.
Rodgers holds a 2-2 career record against the Bills, where he has passed for five touchdown passes. Although he’s thrown four interceptions as well.
