Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes have were given to forestall assembly like this.
The uber-quarterbacks, who recreation the 2 highest occupation passer rankings in NFL historical past and feature mixed for 6 NFL MVP awards, had been having a look forward, in early September, to in the end competing in opposition to every different’s groups after their first two matchups had been scuttled, Mahomes by means of a knee damage in 2019 and Rodgers by means of COVID in 2021.
Now the dynamic duo are 0-for-3. Rodgers and Mahomes will each be inside of MetLife Stadium this night when the Jets wrap up the NFL’s Week 4 Sunday agenda with their primetime collision in opposition to Kansas City. But whilst Mahomes will lead the Chiefs into fight, Rodgers will likely be in a stadium suite protective his post-surgical Achilles tendon and rooting on his new group some distance above the taking part in box.
Even even though Rodgers will likely be taking part in in spirit handiest, that spirit will also be uplifting, because the Jets discovered all offseason and preseason ahead of ARod sustained his season-ending damage early of their opening-night comeback conquer Buffalo. Perhaps his attendance at Saturday evening’s group assembly and at MetLife this night will lend some fireplace to a Jets victory over the 2-1 Chiefs.
