The NY Jets enter the 2023 season with playoff expectations and Super Bowl aspirations. The acquisition of Aaron Rodgers has introduced a renewed sense of optimism into the organization.
After 12 consecutive playoffless seasons, the Jets are hoping that Rodgers can finally help the team end their drought in 2023. Their road to the postseason won't be easy, however.
A stacked conference and challenging division present a difficult road for the Jets. It also doesn't help that the Jets have one of the most difficult schedules, at least on paper, in the NFL.
Let's take a look at this season's schedule, complete with results, start times, and final scores for every game. But first, the preseason.

The Jets will play in a whopping five primetime games this year, their most since the 2011 season. That doesn't include the NFL's first-ever Black Friday showdown between the Jets and the Miami Dolphins.
The hope is that, even with a difficult schedule, the Jets can overcome their playoff demons and return to the postseason for the first time in over a decade. If they're going to do it, it'll be Rodgers who helps lead them there.
