The New York Jets have hit rock bottom. They are 3-7 in their first 10 games of 2024 after a 31-6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. The 25-point loss was their worst loss of the season, as their attack led by Aaron Rodgers totaled the fewest points (six) and yards (207) in any game this season.
Rodgers threw for season lows in passing yards (151) and yards per pass attempt (4.3) with his 4.3 yards per attempt serving as the third-fewest passing yards per attempt in any game of his 20-season career. Minimum 15 pass attempts. . His top target, Davante Adams, caught six of his season-high 13 targets for 31 receiving yards, which was the six-time Pro Bowler’s fewest receiving yards among 44 career games with the least 12 objectives. Defensively, the Jet gave up the most yards allowed per play (7.1) and first downs allowed (28) in a game this season.
Entering 2024 after rupturing his Achilles tendon in 2023, Rodgers talked about wanting to play through the 2025 season. Have the struggles of the first 10 games of the year changed your stance on his football future?
“Not really, not because of the negative, no. Not really,” Rodgers said Wednesday, via SportsNet New York, when asked if New York’s 3-7 start has impacted his thinking about playing the next season.
When asked directly if he still wants to play in 2025, Rodgers had a similarly brief but direct answer.
“I think so, yes,” he said.
Through 10 games, Rodgers is off to his worst 10-game start in his 17 seasons as an NFL starting quarterback in terms of losses (seven), team scoring offense (17 points per game), passing yards per attempt, passing yards per game (225.8) and passer rating (86.8).

The Jets are also the only NFL team this season that has yet to score at least 25 points in a game. Yet despite all the doom and gloom, New York is just two games behind the Denver Broncos (5-5) for the AFC’s seventh and final playoff spot.
