### Aaron Rodgers Deflects Jets' Struggles onto Media

After the New York Jets' crushing 37-15 defeat, quarterback Aaron Rodgers pointed fingers at the media for the team's dismal 2-5 start. Although he acknowledged his need to improve and the necessity for the Jets to enhance their running game, Rodgers emphasized that the primary issue stems from media influence.

In a candid response on maintaining team morale, Rodgers stated, "Stop listening to you guys, number one." This remark illuminated his belief that the media plays a substantial role in the team's performance woes. Despite his assertions, the statistics paint a problematic picture: Rodgers has thrown seven interceptions this season, and his completion percentage and yards-per-attempt are at a career low.

The Jets' defensive struggles were also highlighted as they conceded a season-high 409 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a middle-of-the-pack team. This concerning performance comes just one week after the Jets dismissed their defensive-minded head coach, under whom they had ranked as a Top 5 defensive squad.

In the wake of these challenges, many have called for introspection within the team rather than external blame. Rodgers' comments, however, suggest a different approach. As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how the Jets navigate their internal and external influences.
