Aaron Rodgers didn’t hold back after the New York Jets’ narrow 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills, calling the team’s red-zone execution “terrible” and accusing his squad of “giving away” a golden opportunity. The Jets, now 2-4, struggled in their first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh, as interim boss Jeff Ulbrich failed to spark a turnaround.
Despite Rodgers and running back Breece Hall delivering season-high performances, the Jets managed only one red-zone touchdown out of four trips, missed two field goals, and fumbled a crucial two-minute drive late in the game. “We had the momentum, we moved the ball up and down the field, but we didn’t finish,” Rodgers said. “This was a giveaway.”
With the Bills now leading the AFC East, Rodgers expressed serious concern over New York’s playoff hopes, emphasizing, “We need to get going.” The loss leaves the Jets with little margin for error as they look to regroup under Ulbrich’s leadership.
