In reflection, Rodgers didn't shy away from self-critique or point to issues within the team, commenting, "I gotta play better. That's the key. I got to play better.

"Find a way to run the ball better, so we can actually pass. I thought did some nice things in the passing game. Breece obviously had a couple of really nice ones. Spread the ball around Tae (Davante Adams), G (Garrett Wilson) and Allen (Lazard). Mike (Williams) had a nice conversion, but we got to run the ball better, and I got to play better."

He remarked: "The energy, for whatever reason, at halftime, was a little flat. I felt like it was flat before the game too. So I could look at myself and what I can do to bring better energy, but we all got better.", reports .

The Jets, now at a 2-5 record, are gearing up for a crucial clash with the Patriots next weekend.
