The last 72 hours for the New York Jets have been a blur through the eyes of their reunited quarterback-wide receiver duo of Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, whom Gang Green acquired by trading a conditional third-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the week.
Rodgers was driving home from a tough 23-20 home loss against the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills, a game in which kicker Greg Zuerlein missed two field goals, when he got a call from Adams telling him the news.
