Jets teasing their Aaron Rodgers potential while still a little bit off on offense
The Jets have scored three touchdowns in each of their first two games.That might not seem like a monumental achievement except when you realize they only did that once all of last season.
This is the first time the Jets have had consecutive games with three touchdowns since 2021.What makes the accomplishment more impressive is the Jets offense still has issues to fix.Ask anyone around the Jets and they do not feel their offense is hitting on all cylinders yet.

But we just haven’t been consistent enough in the passing game or the run game.”Rodgers has been inconsistent in his first two games this season.At times, he has looked skittish and unsure of himself.
