Aaron Rodgers was not in any mood to make excuses for his first loss as the starting quarterback of the New York Jets.
In a 32-19 final, New York fell in their 2024 NFL season opener against the San Francisco 49es on “Monday Night Football.”
Rightfully so, Jets fans are not happy. Gang Green backers have been through much more than Rodgers, but Rodgers was not overly upset while coming up for a reason for the Week 1 loss.
Rodgers, 40, was asked about a lack of snaps played during the preseason following the final whistle. Could they be why the offense was inconsistent following their early scoring drive.
Rodgers was having none of that.
“That’s an excuse, I’m not going to use that, I don’t think we should,” Rodgers said. “There were moments, but not sustained.”
In a similar fashion, New York head coach Robert Saleh said there were positives in the defeat.
“There was a lot of promising things. From a team standpoint, all three phases, we’ve got to be better, especially defensively, and we will,” Saleh said.
