Well, let Sunday be a lesson to everyone who started to believe in Aaron Rodgers’ New York Jets again.
With New York suddenly looking like a formidable Super Bowl contender, Gang Green dropped the ball in a pitiful 10-9 loss against the rebuilding Denver Broncos. The Jets converted just 4-of-17 third downs and were otherwise mostly ineffective against a Denver team that also didn’t offer much on offense.
It was all cemented by kicker Greg Zuerlein shanking a 50-yard field goal to lose the game in the final moments. When the camera cut to Aaron Rodgers after the fact, he looked so disheartened while throwing a towel over his face:
"Snap Hennessy, hold Morestead, 50 yarder — NO GOOD. KNUCKLEBALL, off the mark. 47 seconds to go and the Jets are gonna fall short against the Broncos."

Oh, boy. We haven’t seen Rodgers this visibly upset in a LONG time.
Naturally, NFL fans jumped all over the opportunity for a new meme with the Jets’ quarterback.
