After the Jets went up 14-0 over the Patriots with a goal-line touchdown by Breece Hall, Saleh and Rodgers quickly shook hands on the sideline. As the head coach went in for the hug, Rodgers stoned him by putting his hands on his chest and seemed to sternly say something to him.

The Jets outgained the Patriots 400 to 139, with rookie quarterback Drake Maye contributing a 46-yard drive in his NFL debut. He replaced veteran Jacoby Brissett with 4:24 remaining and got the Patriots to the Jets 7-yard line before a sack on the final play.

Aaron Rodgers had exactly the type of performance the New York Jets envisioned when they acquired him last year. The star quarterback was calm, cool and dominant while leading the Jets to a 24-3 rout of the New England Patriots in a happy homecoming Thursday night. And Rodgers said he’s only now starting to feel like himself again.
