Aaron Rodgers finds an old friend for 1st career Jets touchdown pass

Aaron Rodgers has finally thrown his first career touchdown for the New York Jets, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for the team trailing the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. 

The Jets’ offense was able to score the game’s first touchdown – a Breece Hall rush into the end zone to make it 7-3 – but it was all 49ers until Rodgers started driving late in the third quarter at Levi’s Stadium. 

Then, after a hard cadence saw the 49ers’ right edge jump offsides, Rodgers had a free play and knew just what to do with it. 

He fired a strike to veteran receiver Allen Lazard, his old teammate with the Green Bay Packers who followed him to the Jets last season, and he ran it into the end zone to make it a 26-13 game. 

This is a developing story. More to come
