Jets defeat Bills on MNF after OT without Rodgers

The New York Jets accomplished 1 of their most exciting and surprising wins in recent seasons – and still couldn’t have only positive emotions.

Because they didn’t know how long their leader would be off the field.

Aaron Rodgers suffered an injury in the Jets 22-16 OT victory against the Bills just 4 snaps into his 1^st official game with what manager Robert Saleh shared to believe that is left Achilles tendon.

The Miracle at MetLife.

“We didn’t expect that,” CB Sauce Gardner shared after the match. “But we dedicated triumphing the match to him.”

Aaron was sacked by Bills’ Leonard Floyd and fell awkwardly on the leg. The NFL franchise from the Big Apple head coach added that the superstar quarterback would have the MRI tomorrow after X-rays during the match were negative.

The most significant play on the field was when rookie Xavier Gipson returned a punt 65 yards for a TD and for the victory for the Jets.
