After a solid start to the year, Rodgers has thrown six interceptions in the last three games, including two in the Jets' latest 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he finished with 276 yards and one touchdown.

With his season total sitting at 1,663 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, Rodgers knows something isn't clicking for the Jets.

On Tuesday, Rodgers appeared on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" to address what he believes is going wrong with the team.

His answer? The Jets aren't having fun anymore.

"Personally, and as a team, we're playing with too much anger and not enough enjoyment," Rodgers said when asked about the team's recent skid.

Rodgers explained that it's easy to get caught up in frustration when a team is losing, especially with the Jets now at 2-5 and struggling to find rhythm. He emphasized the need for the team to take a step back and regroup by focusing on enjoying the game and each other's company.

"We just need to have a little more fun," Rodgers added. "Smile more and enjoy each other."

Sporting a hat that read "Cherish the little things" during the interview, Rodgers explained that it's a reminder for himself and the team to take a deep breath and focus on what matters.

"It starts with me," he said, noting that he needs to set the tone for a more positive environment.

Despite the Jets' recent struggles, Rodgers remains optimistic that a shift in mentality could help turn things around as they prepare for the second half of the season.
