Aaron Rodgers Jets' Preseason Debut: 'A Good Night'

Aug 27, 2023 11:54 AM

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers felt butterflies in his much-anticipated debut. He also felt love from the crowd, which gave him a loud ovation when he entered the game Saturday night at Met Life Stadium. "A special moment," he said after the Jets' 32-24 win over the New York Giants.

The night couldn't have gone much better for Rodgers, who played two series, threw a touchdown pass and emerged unscathed in his first preseason action since 2018.

"I got in, didn't get hurt, scored," he said succinctly. "A good night."

Aug 22, 2023 8:30 AM

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Washington Commanders 29-28 on Monday night, ending the team's 24-game preseason winning streak.

Joey Slye's 49-yard field goal with 9 seconds remaining clinched the victory for the Commanders. The Ravens hadn't lost in the preseason since 2015.

"The thing about something like that -- I just told our guys -- you're proud of it and you appreciate it," John Harbaugh said. "But the thing that you're proud of is all those games are mostly like that."

Harbaugh later added, "It's one of these things you look at and you go, 'Wow, how did that happen? How did something like that take place?' It's pretty remarkable. What are the odds?"
