Patriots defender: ‘Struggling’ Aaron Rodgers doesn’t look mobile at all

The New England Patriots ended their six-game losing streak with a 25-22 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. After extending their AFC East rival’s skid to five games, one Patriots player had a pointed assessment of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

In assessing the four-time NFL MVP’s current capabilities, Patriots defensive tackle Davon Godchaux said Rodgers is ‘struggling right now’ and doesn’t ‘look the same’ as he did in previous years.

‘You just don’t know if he could move back there,’ Godchaux told reporters, according to the Boston Herald. ‘(Expletive), I can run him down and catch him. He don’t look mobile at all.

‘So it was good for us. We know we can get after him and attack him in the passing game too. So, you know, glad to come out here with the win.”

Rodgers, who took one sack, finished the game with 233 yards and two touchdowns on 17-of-28 passing. He has not had a rushing attempt in his last four games.

‘I’ve been in the darkness. You gotta go in there, make peace with it,’ Rodgers said in a postgame news conference when asked if dropping to 2-6 was a moment of darkness for the team. ‘Offensively, our goal has just gotta be score 30 (points). Doesn’t matter what the other two sides are doing, you know, we have trust in our defense and (special) teams. But if we’re not scoring 30, we’re underachieving. This offense can do that every single week.’

The Jets will face a quick turnaround with a home game against the AFC South-leading Houston Texans (6-2) on Halloween.
