Jets begin to find their rhythm with Rodgers and Adams


Claiming the New York Jets are in full resurgence might be a stretch, but there's reason for optimism. In a thrilling 21-13 victory over the Houston Texans, Davante Adams snagged his first touchdown as a Jet, fueling excitement around the four-time MVP's performance. For fans, it felt like a nostalgic flashback to his days in Green Bay.


Aaron Rodgers and the struggling 1-7 Jets picked up steam in the fourth quarter, maintaining a slim 14-10 lead. Rodgers launched a stunning 37-yard pass to Adams, who made the catch look effortless. “That’s a relationship that’s way deeper than the three or four weeks they’ve been together,” noted head coach Jeff Ulbrich, referencing Adams' unexpected exit from the Las Vegas Raiders. With 7 receptions for 91 yards and that crucial touchdown, Adams shared his thoughts post-game about playing alongside Rodgers.


Adams finds inspiration in the Jets' resilience, feeling a renewed motivation. In an interview with Scott Van Pelt, he discussed their chemistry after scoring his 77th touchdown with Rodgers. “Just being on the same page [with Rodgers] gives us an edge against any defense,” Adams stated, emphasizing his desire to be an asset for the quarterback.


While the first half was largely uneventful aside from a Joe Mixon touchdown, the game picked up pace in the second half. Garrett Wilson delivered what might be the catch of the year with a spectacular 26-yard grab from Rodgers, lighting up the crowd. This time, Rodgers didn't need to script a comeback; the duo had the Jets soaring to victory.



Aaron Rodgers talks Davante Adams


Before diving into the A-Rod-Davante Adams connection, let's highlight an intriguing remark from the Jets QB during the post-game presser. He touched on Jeff Ulbrich and hinted that the decision to elevate him to head coach may have been brewing for some time.


“Jeff’s been really steady, and it’s been a few weeks in the making, but I told him after the Tae touchdown, ‘that was for you, buddy,'” Rodgers said after a standout performance of 211 yards and 3 touchdowns in the win against Houston. The phrase “a few weeks in the making” suggests there was prior knowledge of Ulbrich’s impending promotion, but we’re just speculating here.


Regardless, the New York Jets secured a crucial win, bringing their record to 3-6. However, the path to the playoffs remains challenging, and Rodgers and his teammates have a steep mountain to climb.
