The New York Jets had a miraculous win over the Philadelphia Eagles and Aaron Rodgers witnessed it! One of the greatest in NFL history was on the sidelines during the match against the Eagles and the best part is that he did not have a crutch. He was completely on his own feet and spoke with Robert Saleh during the game. Saleh was mesmerized by this attitude as he praised Rodgers after the game. He said, no one apart from Rodgers would have taken the risk of coming, which is why he is different. 

“It’s unbelievable. A lot of people I’ve talked to, everybody is in awe that he’s even walking, & for him to be on the sideline, standing the entire time, he’s a freakazoid,” the head coach said. “He said he wants to be on the sideline, so he’s gonna be on the sideline,” Robert Saleh noted.

This offseason, Rodgers was traded to the Jets. The Jets fans had high hopes for him. However, in the first match, Rodgers suffered a major injury on his Achilles Tendon and was out for the entire season. His return to the field seemed unsure.

Nonetheless, the player went through surgery and started attending rehab. Recently, he posted a video where he was spotted walking without a crutch. The video was a ray of hope for the New York Jets fans. But no one expected to see him on the sideline so early.

But Rodgers came and in his presence, the Jets did the impossible work of beating the Eagles. The defense performed significantly well as they restricted the Eagles to 14 points. Star quarterback, Jalen Hurts was intercepted thrice in the game that no one thought.

Offense is still a problem for the Jets 

Despite winning, the offense will cause some problems for the Jets as they had another low-scoring encounter. They had only 21 points. Zach Wilson started his fifth game in a row and finished the game with completing 19 of his 33 passes. He neither had a touchdown nor an interception.

Further, Wilson was effective but not the best one could expect. If the Jets have to reach the Playoffs then Wilson needs to perform better. Nonetheless, the Jets got some momentum back and that was what people were looking for, After an abysmal start, they are now standing at 3-3. They need to thrive in full desperation to win the coming encounters.
