Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes in a superb homecoming performance as the New York Jets rolled to a 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday night.
Rodgers, playing his third game in 11 days, was making his first appearance at MetLife Stadium since leaving the field just over a year ago with a torn Achilles tendon in New York's opener last season. The 40-year-old quarterback showed no signs of the injury while scrambling several times and making off-balance throws all night, slicing through New England's defense with surgical precision.
Lazard immediately ran over to his quarterback and handed the football to Rodgers, who threw his first touchdown pass at home for the Jets. Rodgers and the Jets kept things going on their next possession, capping a 13-play, 91-yard drive with a one-yard run by Hall that was reversed by video review after it was originally ruled he was short of the goal line.
