Jets Finally Take Flight ✈️

Aaron Rodgers Throws 3 TDs, Jets Carve Up Texans in 2nd Half (21-13) to End 5-Game Skid

And all of New York breathed a collective sigh of relief. They’re far from fixed, but the new-look Jets are winners again after a five-game skid dating back more than a month. Aaron Rodgers and company strung together three straight drives of 70-plus yards in the second half to come from behind and top the Texans in primetime (21-13). Houston was shorthanded — no Nico Collins or Stefon Diggs — and the Jets receivers had a field day. Both Davante Adams (7 catches, 91 yards, 1 TD) and Garrett Wilson (9 catches, 90 yards, 2 TDs) caught fire. Wilson had two of the best catches of the year, including a one-hander in the end zone that’s worth the watch.

Records: The Jets are now 3-6 and (somehow) still breathing in the AFC East. The Texans (6-3) still hold the division lead in the AFC South.

QB Comparison

A. Rodgers (NYJ): 22/32, 211 yards, 3 TDs
