Aaron Rodgers postgame press conference: Jets QB talks about embracing the ‘darkness’ after loss to Patriots [Video]

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said after Sunday’s loss to the Patriots that the team is in a “moment of darkness,” sitting at 2-6 on the season. 

QB Aaron Rodgers believes the team needs to embrace being in that state. 

The Jets dropped their fifth consecutive contest on the 2024 slate, falling 25-22 to the Patriots in Week 8. Despite New England rookie QB Drake Maye leaving the game early in the second quarter with a head injury, Rodgers and company could not make enough key plays to pull out a win. 

Statistically, Rodgers put up a fine performance in Foxboro, completing 60.7 percent of his passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. However, the Jets were outscored 18-9 in the second half and could not put the shorthanded Patriots away, even after backup Jacoby Brissett entered the game for the injured Maye.
