Not everyone wanted to see Aaron Rodgers play in the New York Jets final preseason game against the New York Giants. But the 39-year-old played – and he played well, finishing 5-for-8 with 47 yards and a touchdown over two offensive series.
The touchdown pass was to second-year wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who had a Giants defender draped all over him.

The Jets’ last preseason game led former Jets QB Boomer Esiason to heap praise on Rodgers, Wilson, and the rest of the team.
