Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets recorded a clear 24-3 home victory against the New England Patriots on Thursday evening.

The Jets outscored the Pats 400-139 and had possession for over 40 minutes. Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns, one to Allen Lazard for 10 yards in the first quarter and one to Garrett Wilson for two yards in the third.

In between those points, running back Breece Hall capped a 13-play, 91-yard run with a 1-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Hall finished the game with 83 yards and a touchdown and now has 290 yards and three scores after three games.

The Jets defense kept the Patriots at bay all night, crushing New England in the trenches, recording seven sacks. Will McDonald IV led the way with two sacks and finished the game with four quarterback hits.

The Pats had only managed 93 total yards before their final drive. The drive was led by rookie Drake Maye, who had replaced veteran starter Jacoby Brissett and had to do cleanup work. Maye led the Pats 46 yards in 16 plays to the Jets’ seven-yard line, but a sack ended the game.

Ultimately, this was a dominant win for the Jets and especially for the 40-year-old Rodgers, who turned back the clock on Thursday and delivered a sensational performance. Hall helped him do that, especially in the first half. The playmakers on both sides and the defense as a whole also shone.

Aaron Rodgers is leading his team in a way most Jets fans have never seen before.
It’s hard to describe what it’s like when your team has a competent QB after decades of QB hell. You really don’t know what to do with your hands.

The 2-1 Jets stay at home next Sunday and play against the Denver Broncos at 1 p.m. ET.
