The New York Jets had high hopes for the 2023 season with Aaron Rodgers joining the team to give them a star-caliber quarterback for the first time in ages.

Given how well their defense played in 2022, having even league-average quarterback play figured to make them a playoff contender, with the hope that Rodgers could tap into the form that made him a 4-time MVP and give them a chance to compete for a Super Bowl berth. However, the excitement for the Rodgers era lasted all of four plays before the then-39-year-old was sacked and tore his achilles, ending his season on the first drive of his Jets career.
