Todd Downing tasked with helping Aaron Rodgers and Jets' struggling offense after 'unique week'
Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets’ offense appeared on their way toward the efficient, high-scoring and productive force they fully expected they’d be this season
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets' offense appeared on their way toward the efficient, high-scoring and productive force they fully expected they'd be this season.
A lot has certainly changed in the last three weeks.
After an offensive outburst in a dominant 24-3 victory over New England on Sept. 19, the Jets have been stymied in losses to Denver and Minnesota. The 40-year-old Rodgers has been banged up, the offensive line has been leaky and the running game has disappeared.
Robert Saleh was fired as coach on Tuesday after a 2-3 start and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was demoted from play calling duties by interim coach Jeff Ulbrich. Now it's Todd Downing's turn to try to jumpstart the struggling offense.
