Aaron Rodgers' bad play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17 gets even worse a week later
The Bills sent the Jets home last weekend with their tails between their legs, handing them a 40-14 beat down that saw the Buffalo offense explode for 21 points in the third quarter.

The Bills sent the Jets home last weekend with their tails between their legs, handing them a 40-14 beat down that saw the Buffalo offense explode for 21 points in the third quarter. They've continued their trend of second-half performances, consistently showing that they can adapt after halftime.
In the game, Aaron Rodgers didn't seem to have a great time. Rodgers completed only 12 of 18 passes for 112 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. The game was so out of hand that Rodgers took a seat late in the game. On one of his interceptions was thrown to the perpetually-underrated and often-slept on Christian Benford. At the end of the play, Rodgers threw a late hit out of bounds, was flagged for it, and now has had a fine come down from the league.
As if the play didn't go poorly enough for Rodgers, a fine adds a whole other level of insult to it.
Things didn't go the way the Jets wanted them to go this season. Thinking they were going all-in on Rodgers by trading for his longtime partner in crime Davante Adams, the Jets enter the last weekend of the season with a 4-12 record.
It's honestly shocking how far the Bills are ahead of the rest of the division this season. At 13-3, they enter the final week of the regular season five games ahead of the second place Miami Dolphins, who they beat handily in both meetings. The Jets have a long offseason ahead of them, and will have to take a long look at their future plans to determine where the franchise goes from here. Meanwhile, the Bills appear to have a stranglehold on the division, winning their fifth-straight AFC East title. It's Buffalo's division until someone takes it from them.
