FOXBOROUGH – Although the stat sheet looked good, Aaron Rodgers failed his eye test in a 25-22 loss TO Patriots.

The 40-year-old quarterback was pressured more than a dozen times by New England’s pass rushers and struggled to escape the pocket. In the second quarter, Keion White said the Patriots noticed he “really wasn’t moving as much” and tweaked some of their defensive tactics accordingly. Rodgers was listed with both knee and hamstring injuries during the week, but was not given any kind of designation for the game.

Defensive tackle Davon Godchaux certainly didn’t think Rodgers was at his peak.

“I think they’re struggling right now,” Godchaux said. “Hall of Fame quarterback, hate to see him go like this, but I’ll always win against him on your resume. They certainly don’t look the same. He kept going back there — (complaining), I could run him down and catch him. It doesn’t look mobile at all. That was good for us. We knew we could get after him and attack him in the passing game.”

The veteran finished 17 of 28 for 233 yards and threw a pair of touchdowns, but White said this was a different Rodgers than the Patriots saw in a 24-3 loss in the Meadowlands last month.

“To our eye, he didn’t look as mobile as he did in the first game,” White said. “So we tried to take advantage of that and be a little more aggressive on the rush and just pressure him … it felt really good to play against Rodgers and win as a younger guy in the league approach him. So we have to build on that – for real.

“When you don’t have a quarterback as mobile, you can definitely do (some) other things you wouldn’t normally do.”

Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said the Jets were in a “dark moment” after the loss dropped them to 2-6, and Rodgers had an interesting response to that.

“I was in the dark,” Rodgers said. “You have to go in there, make peace with it. Offensively, our goal has to be to score 30. It doesn’t matter what the other two teams do. We have confidence in our defense and our teams, but if we don’t score 30, we make it. This offense can do that every week.”
