The Jets have found themselves in the drama mill again.

Remember the controversial Aaron Rodgers absence from the mandatory minicamp or coach Robert Salehs comments about it? Well, the characters remain the same this time as well but with a slightly different plot.

Following Sundays shocking home defeat to the Denver Broncos, Jets head coach Robert Saleh questioned whether A-Rods cadence led his offense to commit five false start penalties in the 10-9 loss.

Rodgers countered by noting New York had only one false start through three weeks and voiced that the team should hold people accountable instead of dialing back their operation.

After this press conference jabs, Rodgers made his usual Pat McAfee Show appearance on Tuesday afternoon.

At the start of his segment, the former punter jokingly promoted Rodgers from player to coach as he introduced him to the audience.

In response, Rodgers shook his head and cracked a smile as he appeared on-screen.

He then remarked that McAfees introduction reminded him of a Key & Peele skit, and shifted the conversation to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks touchdown celebration.

Rodgers threw for 225 yards in Sundays game and missed out on a chance to convert a 4th-and-Goal from the Broncos 1-yard line because of one of those false start penalties.

This led many to question Rodgers endurance on the field as the QB admitted to feeling a little worn out.

Rodgers potential game-winning drive failed after kicker Greg Zuerlein missed a 50-yard field goal, leading Rodgers to shield his eyes on the bench.

McAfee told Rodgers he looked bummed out, then said he imagined New Yorks fans are feeling the same way.

Rodgers admitted he isnt feeling at his best physically following his most recent outing, but made sure to mention theres still a lot of football left before anything becomes definitive.

The Jets face a tough stretch of opposing defenses over the next month, giving Rodgers little time to get things turned around before the season potentially spins out of control.

His quest begins in London on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings ..
