As Rodgers' injury left football fans stunned, the New York Jets are riding an emotional roller coaster.
On one hand, losing a star player is crushing. Wilson spoke about the emotional impact of what happened on Monday night, and he seemed to still be affected the following day during his interview. In that context, it is conceivable that the Jets' collective minds have wandered. Whether they were feeling sorry for themselves, wondering what the future held or anything in between, it would be understandable to think about things other than football.
And that's an underrated tightrope for head coach Robert Saleh and his Jets to walk. Playing the rest of the year without Rodgers will be tricky enough, but striking the right emotional balance can't be overlooked, especially in the immediate aftermath of the injury.Joe Kozlowski is a Newsweek reporter based in New York City.
