Heroes, zeros from Jets’ loss to Seahawks: Aaron Rodgers’ nightmare only grew

Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 26-21 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday:

Hero

Former Jets draft pick and Giants star Leonard Williams had two sacks, a blocked PAT and a pick-six for a game-turning touchdown in his return to MetLife Stadium.

Zero

Aaron Rodgers’ nightmare continued as he completed 53.8 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and an interception returned for a touchdown right after he missed a big play. He had the ball in his hands with a chance to win the game on the Jets’ final drive and failed for the fifth time this season.

Unsung Hero

Geno Smith, another former Jet, threw for 206 yards and a touchdown, finishing with a 94.3 quarterback rating. He led two fourth-quarter scoring drives.

Key Stat

Twelve Penalties for 83 yards and two first downs committed by the Jets, who were guilty of eight in the fourth quarter, including four on the Seahawks’ game-winning touchdown drive.

Quote

“I think he’s an older guy, doesn’t want to take big hits like that anymore. So, sometimes if you feel the guy coming full speed at him, he’s going to chuck it and duck.”
