The New York Jets entered the 2024 season with high hopes, especially after Aaron Rodgers' return from injury. However, their aspirations took a hit following a narrow 28-27 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts, marking their seventh loss in eight games and leaving them at 3-8.
Owner Woody Johnson's decision to fire head coach Robert Saleh and promote defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to interim coach has not yielded the desired results. The Jets' defense has struggled, allowing 26.1 points per game since the coaching change, while the offense has also faltered.
Rodgers, now 40, is under contract for next season but may not be the solution moving forward. With the playoffs seemingly out of reach, the Jets face a challenging road ahead, needing to regroup and finish the season strong despite their disappointing performance.
