The Aaron Rodgers era in New York will begin under the bright lights against a division rival.
The NFL announced Thursday morning that the Jets will open the 2023 season at home for a Monday Night Football showdown versus the Buffalo Bills.
The game will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 11, from MetLife Stadium with ESPN on the broadcast.
Rodgers joined the Jets this offseason after the team completed a blockbuster trade with the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft. After 18 seasons in the NFC North, the 39-year-old quarterback won’t have to wait long to face a division foe from the AFC East.
