A year ago, the New York Jets were 1-0 but reeling in the aftermath of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' season-ending Achilles injury.
All things considered, their current 0-1 start actually feels better than last season, according to coach Robert Saleh. «You know what?
Unfortunately, it does,» Saleh said Tuesday, several hours after being dominated by the San Francisco 49ers in a 32-19 loss at Levi's Stadium.
The 40-year-old Rodgers emerged unscathed from his first extensive action in 20 months, perhaps the only silver lining in a loss best described by wide receiver Garrett Wilson: «They whupped our ass, and that's the reality of it.» After being outclassed by the 49ers, his previous team, Saleh tried to put a positive spin on the Jets' situation.
