The New York Jets have shown resilience in the early stages of the 2024 NFL season, bouncing back after a tough loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Their recent victories against the Tennessee Titans and a commanding win over the New England Patriots indicate a strong offensive performance, especially with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.
However, injury issues loom, particularly with rookie Olu Fashanu stepping in for Morgan Moses and a season-ending injury sidelining Jermaine Johnson II. This puts increased pressure on the Jets' latest draft picks, Will McDonald IV and Fashanu, to step up as contenders in the competitive AFC.
The upcoming schedule is daunting, facing the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, and Pittsburgh Steelers. These games will test the Jets' resilience and determine their playoff potential.
