The New York Jets have announced that they will be playing three more prime time games this season, despite the recent injury to star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, who has been the face of the franchise since 2008, suffered a broken collarbone in Week 6 and is expected to miss at least six weeks of action.
The Jets have been playing well in Rodgers’ absence, winning two of their last three games and showing signs of improvement on both sides of the ball. Despite the injury, the team has decided to move forward with their plans to play three more prime time games this season.
The first game will be against the New England Patriots on December 24th. This will be a big game for the Jets as they look to prove that they can compete with the best teams in the league. The second game will be against the Buffalo Bills on December 31st, and the third game will be against the Miami Dolphins on January 7th.
The Jets are confident that their team can still compete at a high level despite the loss of Rodgers. Backup quarterback Josh McCown has been playing well in his place and the team has been able to rely on their defense and running game to help them win games.
The Jets are hoping that Rodgers can return in time for the playoffs, but even if he doesn’t, they still have a chance to make a run at the postseason. With three more prime time games on the schedule, the Jets will have plenty of opportunities to prove that they can still compete without their star quarterback.
