After losing Aaron Rodgers to an ankle injury early in Monday’s season opener, Jets coach Robert Saleh strongly indicated following the game that the star quarterback may be in for a dire diagnosis regarding his Achilles in the coming days.
A wild 22–16 overtime home win over the Bills took a backseat moments after the final whistle, with glaring questions surrounding Rodgers, who exited four snaps into New York’s opening drive after taking a sack from Buffalo’s Leonard Floyd.

The Cowboys did look like one of the best teams in the NFL in Week 1.
The Jets and Bills had a back-and-forth battle during their season-opening clash on Monday night, which ended in theatrics after New York’s rookie return specialist Xavier Gipson returned a punt for a touchdown in overtime.
After the Jets defense came up huge on the first possession of overtime, the special teams unit ended things before the offense even stepped onto the field.
Gipson’s NFL debut couldn’t have ended on a higher note, as his 65-yard punt return walked off a division rival and handed his team its first win of the campaign.
The New York Jets’ season opener against the Buffalo Bills started in the worst way possible, with Aaron Rodgers leaving with an injured ankle just four snaps into their first drive.
A few hours later, however, their night ended in pure bedlam with rookie Xavier Gipson returning a punt 65 yards to the house for a walk-off touchdown a few minutes into overtime.
Josh Allen had a night to forget on Monday against the Jets, when he turned the ball over four times, including three interceptions to Jordan Whitehead and a fumble during which he ran into his own teammate.
Former New York quarterback Mark Sanchez was tuned into the AFC East rivalry on Monday night, and he had the perfect reaction to Allen’s teammate-induced fumble.
Sanchez poked fun at the most infamous play of his own career on X, while also taking a funny shot at Allen after his fourth turnover.
When Aaron Rodgers left injured in the first drive, it seemed like New York was in for a long night. But some Josh Allen struggles left the door open and Xavier Gipson took advantage.
With Zack Wilson unexpectedly back under center for the Jets in 2023, the third-year quarterback’s first game didn’t appear to pass the eye test for the legendary Peyton Manning.
Appearing on ESPN’s ManningCast, Peyton couldn’t contain his disdain for the much-criticized Wilson’s play after being thrusted into Monday’s Jets-Bills game following a first-quarter ankle injury to Aaron Rodgers.
In a week of overreactions, Garrett Wilson just ‘mossed’ a Bills cornerback.
The best touchdown grab of Week 1 is here … second-year Jets wideout Garrett Wilson pulled off an incredible one-handed TD grab to tie up Monday night’s primetime game against the Buffalo Bills.

Jets backup Zach Wilson linked with his fellow Wilson on a three-yard touchdown reception, tying up the game at 13.
The New York Jets lost Aaron Rodgers to an ankle injury just four snaps into their season Monday night against Buffalo but that didn’t stop them from staying with Josh Allen and the Bills in what has become a thriller in the fourth quarter.
Zach Wilson stepped in for Rodgers and in the fourth quarter he led them down the field for a game-tying touchdown on an unbelievable catch by Garrett Wilson just a few steps into the end zone.
