Aaron Rodgers became the most-sacked quarterback in NFL history on Sunday, surpassing Tom Brady’s record of 565 sacks after being brought down four times. The milestone came in a disappointing 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium. Rodgers’ team, the New York Jets (4-12), is struggling this season and has lost 12 games, tied for the second most by a former MVP quarterback.
Rodgers was sack-prone throughout the game, throwing two interceptions and recording a 1.2 Total QBR, the lowest of his career. The quarterback’s performance was marred by penalties, including an unnecessary roughness penalty that contributed to the Jets’ most accepted penalties in a game since 2018. Despite Gallows humor from Rodgers about tying Brady, he acknowledged that the season “got away” from him and his team.
The Jets are now reeling after a disastrous outing that saw their quarterback make history on the field but not in the way they had hoped. With the season finale against the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium approaching, the team will look to regroup and bounce back from this embarrassing loss.
