New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and star wideout Garrett Wilson had only connected for touchdowns twice so far through five games of the 2024 season.
A case can be made that the lack of scoring between what was thought to be one of the best quarterback/wideout duos in the NFL was one of the reasons for the Jets' 2-3 start. A start that led to the firing of head coach Robert Saleh.
Change is in the air in New York, and that change was evident early on in the "Monday Night Football" matchup between the Jets and Buffalo Bills.
With an interim head coach in Jeff Ulbrich and a new play caller in Todd Downing watching, Rodgers and Wilson once again connected for a touchdown:
Rodgers to Wilson! Touchdown, Jets!

That pass appeared to be a vintage Aaron Rodgers throw.
He felt the pressure, stepped up into the pocket and made a throw on the run while climbing the pocket that few in NFL history could make.
Wilson was called "out" at first, and the play was ruled incomplete. Upon further review, it was deemed to be a touchdown.
