The last time Aaron Rodgers played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, he suffered a season-ending torn achilles tendon that wiped out his entire 2023 campaign with the New York Jets.
Well, the four-time NFL MVP returns to MetLife Stadium for the first time since in the Jets' home opener tonight as Gang Green hosts the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football.
Last week, Rodgers aired it out for 176 yards and two touchdowns, while rookie running back Braelon Allen rushed for one TD and hauled in another to lead the Jets to a 24-17 road win over the Tennessee Titans for their first victory of the season.
Their AFC East division rival Patriots didn't fare as well, losing a 23-20 heartbreaker in overtime to the Seattle Seahawks on a 31-yard field goal.
Will Rodgers and the Jets (1-1) make it a triumphant home opener for the Gang Green faithful? Or will the Patriots (1-1) play spoiler to record their second win of the season?
