In their 32-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, the New York Jets found some silver linings despite the defeat. The game was marked by notable defensive and offensive performances. Although the Jets’ defense allowed over 400 yards and eight consecutive scoring drives, there were positives to highlight.
Aaron Rodgers, making his return after an Achilles injury, completed 61% of his passes for 167 yards and a touchdown. Despite a turnover, his ability to finish the game was a significant boost for the Jets. The offensive line also showed improvement, especially in pass protection. Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett praised the line’s performance, noting that Rodgers was well-protected and had time to make plays, though he acknowledged that the run game needs improvement.
Despite these positives, Hackett faced criticism for his personnel decisions and play-calling. The Jets’ offense struggled overall, with Rodgers being sacked five times and throwing two interceptions. The team’s lack of offensive production, particularly in key situations, remains a concern as they look to move forward.
