In 2023, the Jets finished 7-10 and missed out on the playoffs for the 13th straight season. Last year was supposed to be different for New York. However, four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles after just a few plays in Week 1 vs. the Bills. Rodgers never returned and the Jets struggled with consistency at QB all season.
The one-time Super Bowl champion QB is 40 years old and is heading into his 20th professional season in 2024. New York expects Rodgers to be 100% for Week 1 vs. the San Francisco 49ers. This season, the Jets have six primetime games in the first 11 weeks. Rodgers calls the team “must-watch TV” in 2024.

Their next primetime game is in Week 3 on TNF vs. the Patriots. Next up is MNF vs. the Bills in Week 6. The Jets have another primetime Game in Week 7 on the road vs. the Steelers on SNF. In Week 9, the Jets will host the Texans for a Week 9 matchup of TNF. To finish out their primetime gauntlet to start the season,…
