NY Jets' offensive ineptitude helped Aaron Rodgers make history in Week 4

The NY Jets have set their fair share of unfortunate offensive records in recent years. The Zach Wilson era alone produced some of the worst offensive numbers you're going to find in the modern NFL.

But the arrival of Aaron Rodgers was supposed to fix everything. Sure, there were still a few holes on this Jets' roster, but the belief was that Rodgers would significantly raise the floor of the team's offense. At the very least, the bar shouldn't have been hard to clear.

Unfortunately, it seems you can take the quarterback out of the Jets but you can't take the Jets out of the quarterback. Rodgers and the Jets limped their way to an ugly 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 4 in a game in which the Jets offense of old reared its ugly head.

In fact, the Jets' offense was so inept on Sunday that Rodgers made a little history of his own in the process. Sunday was the first home game of Rodgers' career (excluding games he didn't finish) of his career without a single touchdown.

The Jets had a golden opportunity too, facing a 1st-and-goal from the one-yard line toward the end of the first quarter, only to be forced to settle for a field goal just a few plays later. Rodgers and the Jets couldn't manage a single end-zone trip. It gets worse, too.

Aaron Rodgers and the NY Jets' offense made the wrong kind of history in Week 4

Rodgers has now started 228 career games in the NFL. In those 228 games, a Rodgers-led offense has failed to score at least one touchdown just five times, two of which the four-time MVP didn't even play the entire game. Sunday's game was one of those occasions.

The Jets' offensive struggles don't end there, however. Rodgers entered his team's Week 4 game with a 33-1 career record when his opponent scores 10 or fewer points. His 22-game winning streak was the longest in the NFL. That changed on Sunday following his team's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

Rodgers and the Jets' offense made all the wrong kinds of history in this game. The future Hall of Famer was sacked five times and hit 14 times. The Jets averaged just 2.8 yards per carry on the ground and a lowly 3.5 yards per attempt overall — still 0.2 better than their opponents.

Rodgers may be one of the most accomplished and decorated quarterbacks in NFL history, but there's just something about the New York Jets that brings out the worst in every QB. The Jets can't string together consecutive positive offensive games.

Welcome to Florham Park, Aaron Rodgers. The "Same Old Jets" narrative is alive and well following yet another classic Gang Green gut-punch in Week 4.
