NFL: Aaron Rodgers helps New York Jets beat New England Patriots
Aaron Rodgers starred for the New York Jets in their dominant 24-3 home victory against the New England Patriots.
The 40-year-old threw for two touchdowns in his first start at the Jets’ MetLife Stadium since he suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon on his debut one year ago.
Rodgers, named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player four times during his long career with the Green Bay Packers, was given a warm reception in the Jets’ first home game of the season.
“I felt pretty good. I was doing some things I did as a younger man,” Rodgers said.
“I feel great to be able to play an entire game in front of our amazing fans.”
In their opening two games of the new season the Jets lost at the San Francisco 49ers before winning at the Tennessee Titans.
Rodgers, who made his return to action in the opening-weekend loss in San Francisco, completed 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards on Thursday.
He had a stellar career with Green Bay, helping them win the Super Bowl in 2011, before a surprise trade was agreed with the Jets last year.

The one all-Premiership tie – and probably the least predictable – takes Dundee United to Motherwell on Friday evening in a meeting of two clubs looking to end a decades-long League Cup drought.
United have not lifted the League Cup since beating city rivals Dundee in the 1980 final, while Motherwell’s wait is even longer, having last won the trophy back in 1950, when they defeated Hibernian.
Indeed, neither side have gone beyond the quarter-finals since they last progressed to the final.
Motherwell defeated Aberdeen 3-0 seven years ago, before knocking out Rangers in the semi-finals and falling short in their bid for an Old Firm double against Celtic.
Two years earlier, United beat Hibernian on penalties after a 3-3 draw, overcame Aberdeen in the last four but also lost to Celtic in the final.
Celtic were also Well’s nemesis when the Lanarkshire side and United last reached the quarter-finals two years ago, the Glasgow visitors easing to a 4-0 win while the Tangerines were losing 2-1 in Kilmarnock.
The current sides go into Friday’s quarter-final looking to recover from top-flight defeats that ended three-game winning runs.
Stuart Kettlewell’s hosts fell 2-1 away to Aberdeen, while Jim Goodwin’s United had their impressive eight-game unbeaten sequence brought to an end by Rangers’ single-goal win at Tannadice.
Recent meetings are also no guide to Friday’s outcome considering United have spent a season winning the Championship since losing 3-2 at Fir Park in their last meeting – with United having won there a month previously.
Their knock-out meetings tend to be tight affairs too, with United winning 2-1 at Fir Park in the Scottish Cup fourth round in November 2014, while Alan Gow’s goal was enough to take hosts Motherwell through to the League Cup semi-finals in October 2010.
Another close game is in prospect under the Fir Park lights.
