Aaron Rodgers Jets’ Debut 2.0 will be in San Francisco
The New York Jets will open the 2024 season in San Francisco.
News broke early Tuesday that Gang Green will face the defending NFC Champions on Monday Night Football on September 9 out in Santa Clara, in a game that will have plenty of sizzle leading up to it.
JETS – NINERS SIZZLE
For Starters, it will be Aaron Rodgers Jets debut 2.0. The opener will mark the second straight season the Jets begin on Monday Night Football. Of course, the hope is that Rodgers plays the entire game healthy. Last season, the pomp and circumstance of his Jets debut ended in disaster four plays in when he tore his Achilles.
Robert Saleh returns to the Bay: Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh was a long-time assistant under 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan. In 2020, Saleh was the Niners Defensive Coordinator.
Jets DC Jeff Ulbrich Returns to the Bay: Jets Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich played in San Francisco for a decade, and there were even rumors this off-season that San Fran was kicking the tires on poaching him from the Jets staff to be their new D.C. Ulbrich ultimately stayed in New York.
