Aaron Rodgers’ return to the field for the New York Jets this season after his Achilles injury was always a stretch, but even he seems to recognize the futility of it all amidst yet another Gotham green blowout.
On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins held a 24-0 lead over the hapless Jets at halftime as New York was en route to yet another loss on the year. Quarterback Zach Wilson was knocked out of the game with a non-concussion head injury as the Jets’ offensive line allowed five first-half sacks, more than the yardage they gained in the first two quarters!
During the disaster of a game, cameras panned to Rodgers on the sideline and caught the most relatable reaction from the quarterback, as he shook his head in clear disgust of the team’s play.

Given Rodgers is coming off an Achilles injury and is over 40-years-old, no wonder he doesn’t want to line up behind this mess of a Jets’ offensive line.
NFL fans, on the other hand, could not help but joke about Rodgers’ reaction to the Jets’ miserable Sunday.

Give him the Oscar. He's thrilled he won't have to prove his achilles is healed. https://t.co/B5N10BFfU2

Aaron Rodgers disgusted head-shaking on the sideline in Miami is all of us. It’s the perpetual emotion of being the #Jets.
