Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, faced a challenging outing during their Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills, culminating in a 40-14 defeat. This game was marked by Rodgers throwing two interceptions, including a significant one in the third quarter that was intercepted by cornerback Christian Benford. Following this interception, Rodgers incurred an unnecessary roughness penalty for a late hit on Benford, leading to an $11,255 fine.

This penalty added to a dismal performance for Rodgers, who was also sacked four times during the game. The Jets found themselves trailing 40-0, marking the largest deficit in Rodgers' career, including both regular season and playoff games. With a disappointing 4-12 record heading into Week 18, the Jets are already looking to make coaching changes, with reports indicating that they are prioritizing experienced candidates to replace Robert Saleh.
