John reacts to the New York Jets' dominant 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football. John admits he was wrong in predicting a Patriots win and he dives into Aaron Rodgers' impressive performance at quarterback for the Jets. John also previews the Jets' upcoming matchups against the Broncos, Vikings, Bills, and Steelers, discussing how, if Rodgers continues to play at this level, the Jets could potentially win all those games. Later, John talks about the challenges facing first-year head coach Jerod Mayo as he navigates the growing pains of a struggling roster. He also questions whether Jacoby Brissett can stay healthy behind a porous offensive line, which is crucial for the Patriots' plan to keep rookie QB Drake Maye on the bench this season.
