Aaron Rodgers pumps his fist after the Steelers defeated the Jets on Sept. 7. Robert Sabo for the NY Post<\/p>\n
Aaron Rodgers looks to make a throw during the Steelers\u2019 Sept. 7 win against the Jets. Bill Kostroun for the NY Post<\/p>\n
He completed 22-of-30 passes for 244 yards and the four touchdowns, and with the Steelers trailing late in the fourth quarter, he orchestrated a vintage six-play, 39-yard drive to get them close enough for Chris Boswell to connect on a 60-yard field goal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Rodgers\u2019 first season with the Jets was derailed by a torn Achilles sustained on the first offensive drive of the year, and his second campaign with Gang Green was defined by constant struggles and underwhelming performances that resembled a shadow of the signal-caller who won four MVP awards with the Packers.<\/p>\n

As a Jet, Rodgers compiled four touchdown passes in game just once \u2014 in the season finale against the Dolphins.<\/p>\n
