After Rams’ Ethan Evans punted the ball to the one-yard-line, the Jets drove 99 yards to score on their opening drive for the second consecutive week. To end the drive, Rodgers found Adams for an 11-yard touchdown pass, the 499th of his career. Anders Carlson missed the extra point, so the score remained 6-0.

Accordingly, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters Wednesday that he planned to play Sunday despite an MCL injury. "I'm going to play and it feels pretty good," Rodgers said. Prodded as to the nature of the injury—which he suffered during New York's 19–9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams Sunday—the quarterback brushed it off.

Rookie left tackle Olu Fashanu's promising first season is over, though, as Ulbrich said the first-round pick will be placed on injured reserve with an injury to the plantar fascia in his left foot. Rodgers was hurt in the Jets' 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday but remained in the game.
