There have been 15 completions in 18 passing attempts, three touchdown passes and 179 yards through the air.
All of it got here in a one-sided second half.
This was the Aaron Rodgers the Jets waited to see.
After a shaky first half, the four-time MVP found his groove, helping to deliver a much-needed 21-13 victory over the AFC South-leading Texans at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night.
Rodgers became the primary Jets quarterback to throw for 3 scores in a single game since Mike White did it against the Bears on Nov. 27, 2022.
He threw two of those to Garrett Wilson and one other to Davante Adams.
“Night and day,” Adams said when asked about Rodgers’ second half performance. “I feel that was everybody. All of us type of had our hiccups early. [No.] 12 … 8 … flipped it around. Still not used to that [new number]. He flipped it around and we were in a position to finally figure it out.”
There have been plenty of positives for the Jets as they snapped a five-game losing streak.
The defense registered a season-high eight sacks and limited the Texans to 2 second-half field goals.
Adams and Wilson finally looked just like the dynamic tandem the Jets hoped they might turn out to be after they made the move to usher in Adams from the Raiders.
But Rodgers looking like Rodgers was at the highest of the list.
“I played about as bad as I could in the primary half, and I knew it needed to improve from there,” said Rodgers, who was 7-for-14 for 32 yards in the primary half.
It had been a struggle for him. Through the losing streak, he threw nearly as many interceptions (six) as touchdown passes (seven).
He had possibilities late in several of the losses to drag out victories, but couldn’t do it.
That concerning trend got here to an end against the Titans.
With the sport on the road, he made big plays, and the Jets now can take into consideration turning their yr around.
“It was type of season on the road there within the second half. Obviously, we wouldn’t have been mathematically eliminated. But, mentally, to go 2-7 would’ve been real tough,” Rodgers said. “Hopefully, this provides us the boldness that we will beat anybody, because we feel we will. The way in which we played on offense within the second half is the best way we’ve been waiting for this offense to type of get up. I used to be near perfection as I needed to be, but that’s the usual I want to play at.”
