Call it a mulligan. Aaron Rodgers will make his second-ever start for the New York Jets on Monday night, when he faces off against his hometown San Francisco 49ers. It’s almost perfect, in a way. The oldest active player in the NFL coming off a torn Achilles begins the 2024 season against the team he would have liked to been selected by in 2005, and it’s in Santa Clara where he will attempt to persuade the NFL world that the four-time MVP is still a threat.
We know what the 49ers are. One of the best teams in the NFL is favored to return to the Super Bowl after falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII last year. But questions remain concerning both the consistency and the ceiling of quarterback Brock Purdy, and how the defense will fare under new defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen.
Speaking of ceilings, what are the expectations for the Jets in 2024? With Rodgers under center and the backing of a top five defense, is New York a possible Super Bowl contender? Maybe we can find some answers to these questions when the Jets take on the 49ers Monday. Let’s break down this interconference matchup.
