The New York Jets‘ roster has undergone some of the most significant changes of any NFL team.
They have added pieces to both sides of the ball, hoping to break their playoff drought.
Aaron Rodgers was signed with the hope that he’ll turn this offense around, transforming them into a top unit across the AFC.
Joy Taylor recently discussed the Jets’ upcoming season, outlining the pressure their offense is under.
“If the defense does end up being historical, that’s going to make it even more difficult on Aaron Rodgers,” Taylor said.
Is there more pressure on the Jets' defense or their offense? 🤔

Many analysts, including Taylor, believe the Jets will have a top-five defense this season.
They performed well last season, and assuming they are fully healthy, the Jets should not have a problem achieving these expectations.
More time on the field for the offense comes with a greater responsibility to succeed for Rodgers.
He was brought in to help solidify this side of the ball, and if he falters, a lot of blame will be placed upon him.
Thankfully for Rodgers, he’s not alone.
Breece Hall, Dalvin Cook, Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and so many other talented athletes are there to help his cause.
The AFC is widely viewed as a brutal conference, and it is tough for any team to break through.
If Rodgers and the Jets are going to make any noise in the playoffs, they’ll first need to play well against their divisional rivals.
Will Rodgers and the offense perform as advertised, leading to a playoff-drought-breaking season?
