Aaron Rodgers hooked up with an old friend for the New York Jets' first touchdown vs. the New England Patriots on Monday night -- a 10-yard pass to wide receiver Allen Lazard, who celebrated by handing the ball to his quarterback.

It was a first but also a blast from the past. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on the board with a touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium as a member of the home team. It was a long time coming for the QB after his 2023 injury woes.

Aaron Rodgers lasted only four plays in his debut with the Jets in 2023. He is back at MetLife Stadium for the first time since and has the Jets out to a 7-0 lead. Rodgers threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard, who arrived with the quarterback from Green Bay, with 4:21 remaining in the first quarter.
