Aaron Rodgers took a backseat for a while during the matchup against the Denver Broncos. This happened after the brutal sack that came his way in the final quarter of the game.
The Broncos gave the multiple-time Super Bowl winner a run, quite literally, when he couldn’t make a call under pressure and succumbed to a sack at the hands of P.J. Locke. Unfortunately, it inflicted some potential injury on him.
A senior writer from The Athletic exclusively covering the Jets revealed that the trainers were concerned for QB 1 and his health. As a result, he was taken to the sidelines.

When the defensive safety P.J. Locke escaped the Jets offensive linemen and tackled Rodgers to the ground, the latter accidentally fumbled the ball. This gave the Broncos the perfect opportunity to take the game into their own hands.
