Anything that could go wrong for the Jets this season is going wrong. In what was supposed to be the start of their redemption arc under four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Has turned into a season of horrors.

See, playing well and losing games could be acceptable for the fans. But blowing a 14-point lead in the first quarter and then giving up 19 unanswered points is a new low, even for their standards. Dropping down to 3-9 with no hopes of making the playoffs has led to their two-time Pro Bowler cornerback giving up on their season.

Sharing his thoughts with the reporters in post-game pressers, Gardner was visibly upset about where they stand as a team, “I don’t think me in my time playing football I’ve been 3-9. So it’s a feeling I’ve never felt before, and I’ve got to overcome all this stuff that’s going to come with it.” 

On the day when the Jets finally looked like they would give their fans something to cheer about in New York. They committed 12 penalties and two turnovers that paved the way for the Seahawks to come back and claim a stunning victory. At one time, the Jets even had a 21-7 lead over the Seahawks with 11 minutes of the second quarter remaining. However, they still managed to lose while showing their consistency in pulling negative results.

And those weren’t the only thoughts Gardner shared after their heartbreaking loss, “I feel like if it was like an analytic, it would probably say if you recover a kickoff and score a kick return, you’re probably not supposed to lose.” Although Kene Nwangwu’s 99-yard kickoff TD return was a sight to behold on Sunday. The Jets couldn’t manage to hold on to their lead thanks to their 41-year-old veteran, who didn’t have a great day on the field.

Aaron Rodgers’ mistakes propelled the Jets to their worst defeat of the season

Anyone who didn’t watch the game live might say the scoreline doesn’t really look bad. While some could argue that it isn’t their worst defeat of the season. However, the 14-point that the Jets gave up to lose to the Seahawks will haunt them for the rest of this year. Even Aaron Rodgers was disappointed to sum up his day on the gridiron, “It’s disappointing. What else can you say? We’ve had a lot of chances in these situations. A lot of these games come down to one play, whether you make it or miss it. If I make that play, it’s 28-7, a different ballgame.”

And the one Rodgers could be referring to might be his overthrow pass at Garrett Wilson. The Jets receiver was standing wide open in the end zone, but for some reason, Rodgers couldn’t pinpoint his pass. Even on the next play, Rodgers had the chance to redeem himself. However, it only took a turn for the worse. As the 41-year-old threw his second pick of the year to former Jets defensive tackle Leonard Williams. His 92-yard was deemed the longest by any defensive lineman ever in the NFL.

Well, Rodgers also agreed with how that second quarter turned the game upside down, “Those plays in the second quarter cost us the game.” Before that, everything was going too well for the Jets QB. His TD pass each to Davante Adams and Isaiah Davis gave up a 14-point lead going into the second quarter. Even Adams couldn’t control his emotions, seeing how the Jets collapsed from a winning position. Adamas even posted a cryptic message that read, “Winning in life.” 

That message could mean one thing: Adams is at least winning off the field. While the Jets on the field continue to haunt their fans. With only a handful of games remaining, they must save some face. Or else, this 3-9 record could only spin backwards, considering the way they consistently fumble games this season.
