New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh had a very good, and positive, analogy for the way his quarterback performed against the New England Patriots.
The Jets (2-1) topped their AFC East rival in a 24-3 final. The outing saw Aaron Rodgers’ produce his best performance in green and white so far.
Rodgers was 27-for-35 passing with 281 yards and two touchdowns. It was a vintage Rodgers effort, which is what Saleh was getting at with his post-game analysis of his QB.
“He may not be what he used to be but he still has plenty in those legs and his arm is still 30,” Saleh said. “His mind is still operating at a high level, he was definitely impressive today.”
Regardless of age of limbs, the 40-year-old quarterback said it was an important outcome for him, his first full win at MetLife Stadium.
“It was a really special night,” Rodgers said via video conference. “I was kind of hoping for a stop there to take a final knee on the field. A special night.”
