With Aaron Rodgers' arrival, all eyes are going to be on the AFC East. Here's your guide to the division and its storylines.
Beyond the Rodgers-related hype, the defense also has something to hang its hat on. The unit was fourth in the league last year in terms of points allowed, giving up 18.6 per outing, and has plenty of talent in the secondary. If Sauce Gardner, Michael Carter II and D.J. Reed can keep opposing offenses quiet, that will only make Rodgers' life that much easier.
So, what could possibly go wrong? The biggest risk factor comes down to three words: location, location, location. As many professional athletes have learned before, playing in New York presents a unique challenge. Guys like Randy Johnson and Roberto Alomar simply couldn't take the heat and failed to live up to the hype.
Rodgers has plenty of talent, but some warning signs are there. He's coming to the Big Apple as a franchise savior. He has something of a chip on his shoulder. He's been known to take issue with the media. The team, as a whole, is facing higher expectations than they have in quite a while. If the Jets get off to a slow start or drop a few games in the middle of November, things could go south in a hurry.
To quote Spiderman's Uncle Ben—the superhero was a Mets fan, so we'll allow commentary on the Jets—with great power comes great responsibility. Rodgers has been handed the keys to the Jets and become the talk of New York. That means all of the weight will be on his shoulders, and even the most talented players can sometimes crack under the pressure.Joe Kozlowski is a Newsweek reporter based in New York City.
