Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets continued their brutal season with yet another loss, falling on the road to the New England Patriots, 25-22. That's now five straight defeats for a team that entered the season with very high expectations but now sits in a tie for last place in the AFC East with a 2-6 record.
Moments after the game, Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich, who took over for Robert Saleh after he was fired earlier this month, told reporters that the team is now in a "moment of darkness."
Rodgers knows all about darkness, as he spent some time in a darkness retreat after the 2022 season. The QB had this to say when asked about Ulbrich's line: "I've been in the darkness. You've got to go in there, make peace with it."
"I've been in the darkness. You've got to go in there, make peace with it."

If your quarterback is talking like Rust Cohle generally this portends poorly https://t.co/ZjzR74rG1q

Bet jets fans wish he would have stayed in the darkness and not come to NY.

Who would have thought being nearly a season and a half into his career and he’d have 2 wins. It’s absolutely priceless. https://t.co/IQMGPRu9OA
Everything about this team is so cringy, these quotes are embarrassing
