Negative streak ended
Aaron Rodgers lets Jets celebrate against Patriots
The New York Jets have clearly won their first home game of the season in the National Football League (NFL). Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the Jets to a 24:3 (14:3) victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday.
After eight home defeats against the Patriots in a row, the Jets won against their rivals in their own stadium for the first time since 2015.
"Special evening"
Aaron Rodgers thus celebrated a successful return to the MetLife Stadium. Just over a year ago, the quarterback tore his Achilles tendon in his first and, to date, last home game for the Jets and missed the rest of the season. The 40-year-old, who is the oldest player in the league, has shown no signs of injury this season. "It really was a special evening. The chants from the fans meant a lot to me," Rodgers said after his first home game in over a year.
Rodgers threw two touchdown passes against the Patriots, completing 27 of his 35 passes for 281 yards. Breece Hall also scored a touchdown for the Jets in the second half. The Jets recorded their second win in their third game of the season, while the Patriots suffered their second defeat.
