Rodgers briefly talked about his hopes for the team entering Week 8's matchup against the New England Patriots.
With the New York Jets staring down the barrel of a potentially lost season, quarterback Aaron Rodgers tried to lighten the mood on his weekly appearance onRodgers reflected on the Jets’ disappointing 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and how the “energy” just wasn’t good enough. Keeping that in mind, the veteran named a surprising goal for the team heading into Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
“We’re playing with too much anger and not enough enjoyment,” Rodgers said. “We’ve played this game for a long time, and we get paid incredibly well. This is our livelihood, to play a game most of us dreamt about or played as kids… Personally, on our team we just need to have a little more fun. Smile more, enjoy each other. It’s fun when you win, of course, but I think there’s ways of taking some of the pressure off, and it’s got to start with me this week.
Fans can only pray that Rodgers and the Jets find the “right mindset” to turn their 2-5 season around soon.Won a ring in Tampa and had 3 straight playoff appearancesAt first it was about holding guys accountable and now it’s about fun.
