The loss to the Seahawks looked different from other Jets games early on, and it didn’t have anything to do with the special teams madness. For one, Rodgers seemed to be holding the ball longer than he has for most of 2024. The Next Gen Stats backed that up: After averaging 2.52 seconds to throw earlier this season, Rodgers held the ball for 2.84 seconds before firing in Week 13. That made it look more like the Rodgers of old, but his accuracy was inconsistent. He missed Garrett Wilson on what should have been a touchdown pass, struggled early to connect with Davante Adams and just wasn’t very reliable overall. When he did connect, it was pretty. He found Adams for a couple of key completions, had another great throw ruled incomplete on fourth down, connected with Adams for a score and seemed to be finding a bit of a groove when he was fooled by Seattle’s defensive call on one red-zone snap, resulting in a 92-yard Leonard Williams pick-six. Rodgers got credit for another TD on a well-designed touch pass to Isaiah Davis and finished with a decent stat line, but the Jets’ meltdown coincided with a prolonged offensive lull from which Rodgers couldn’t rescue his team. It wasn’t his worst game by any means, but it was another example of how the Jets can and will tease their fans. Unfortunately, I don’t think Rodgers can overcome such difficulties anymore.
