This might be the first time Rodgers has been injured since his previous season’s injury. Rodgers’ milestone day (60,148 passing yards!) was overshadowed by a heartbreaking 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Despite struggles, Rodgers showed sparks with Garrett Wilson (13 catches, 101 yards, TD). The jets’ rocky start (2-3) isn’t ideal. As the QB gets back in the groove after Achilles’ injury, a new injury is coming!

Aaron Rodgers is under fire from fans after revealing he suffered a low-ankle sprain during the Jets’ 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Despite finishing the game with two touchdowns, his three interceptions and inconsistent performance didn’t go unnoticed. While Rodgers explained that his foot got caught in a pileup, many fans quickly dismissed his injury claim. “Every time this dude plays bad it’s an injury excuse,” one fan commented. Another added, “Excuses, excuses.” Rodgers even joked about his body making “a lot of noises,” but it wasn’t enough to quiet the critics.

Some fans took it further, accusing the 40-year-old quarterback of potentially faking the injury. “I can see him checking out with a fake injury. He’s too old to play out the sting,” one frustrated fan remarked. Others expressed doubts about his ability to lead the team, sarcastically saying, “Didn’t know his ankle was just below his knee.” With mounting pressure, Rodgers will need more than jokes to win back the trust of Jets fans.

Jets fall to Vikings in London as injured Aaron Rodgers struggles to rally

The New York Jets couldn’t shake off their London blues, falling 17-23 to the Minnesota Vikings in a game where both teams had plenty of ups and downs. The Vikings, coming in strong, capitalized on turnovers and key plays to outlast the Jets, improving their record while pushing the Jets down to 2-3 for the season. It was a game marked by mistakes, as Aaron Rodgers threw three interceptions, despite managing to rack up 244 yards and two touchdowns on 29-of-54 passing attempts.

Rodgers, visibly hobbled after getting his legs caught in a pile-up during the third quarter, was clearly not at 100%. After the game, Rodgers explained his injury, saying, “I got my foot caught in the pile there. Just seems to be a low ankle sprain.” He also joked that he heard “noises” during the tackle, but reassured everyone it wasn’t nearly as serious as last season’s Achilles tear.

Despite the injury, Rodgers stayed in the game, trying to rally his team. But with turnovers and sacks stacking up, the Jets couldn’t find their rhythm. The Vikings’ defense kept up the pressure, leading to three sacks and multiple hits on Rodgers. Meanwhile, their offense did just enough to seal the win.

Looking ahead, Rodgers and the Jets have a crucial Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. Rodgers will have some extra time to rest, but it’s clear the Jets need a lot more than a healthy QB to turn things around this season.
