The Aaron Rodgers era with the Jets will begin under the primetime lights.
On “Good Morning America,” Pro Football Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Troy Aikman revealed that the Jets will host the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football on Sept. 11 at MetLife Stadium. The two teams split their meetings last year ca The Jets shocked the Bills at MetLife Stadium November 20-17 last year. Buffalo got revenge at home in December, 20-12.
This is the second Jets game announced before Thursday night’s schedule is released. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Jets will host the Dolphins the first NFL Black Friday game on Amazon Prime on November 24 at MetLife Stadium. The rest of the Jets schedule will be revealed Thursday at 8 p.m
The Rodgers effect is real, as the Gang Green have already received more nationally televised games than they did a year ago. During the 2022 season, the Jets were featured once in primetime, a loss to the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football last December.
With the addition of Rodgersmany expect the Jets to contend in the AFC and make the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Now the Jets will get an early chance to see where they stand in the AFC East as they play the Bills, who won the division. the last three seasons.
“As soon as they made the trade and got Aaron Rodgers, they’re immediately in the Super Bowl conversation and rightfully so,” Aikman said on ESPN. “They have a really talented football team and of course it will be very interesting.
“It will be fantastic to watch Aaron Rodgers this offseason and get them in Week 1 against a very good Buffalo Bills team.”
