Early in the fourth quarter, Rodgers escaped pressure in the Dolphins’ red zone and had a clear, wide-open path for a rushing score. However, the veteran decided to stop and throw a nifty pass to Adams for the touchdown, the pair’s 83rd of all time which is good for third in league history.

One can be certain this is not the way the play was drawn up. The New York Jets decided to pull out all the stops since there was no reason to hide anything in the playbook on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

Rumblings emerged shortly after New York Jets owner Woody Johnson dismissed general manager Joe Douglas in November, claiming that the Jets would part ways with noteworthy veteran players such as quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams during the upcoming offseason as part of a franchise reset.
