Allen Lazard, who looks rejuvenated with Rodgers healthy, hauled in a screen and darted 10 yards for the score in the opening quarter of Thursday night’s 24-3 breeze over the Patriots.
Aaron Rodgers found a familiar face for his first home TD as a Jet.
Allen Lazard, who looks rejuvenated with Rodgers healthy, hauled in a screen and darted 10 yards for the score in the opening quarter of Thursday night’s 24-3 breeze over the Patriots.
Instead of celebrating, Lazard immediately ran to Rodgers to hand him the ball as a keepsake — a symbolic moment to contrast the quarterback’s last appearance at MetLife, when his Achilles ruptured and Gang Green’s season was detonated on the fourth snap of Game 1 in 2023.
Lazard was a disaster last season without Rodgers.
He managed just 23 receptions on 49 targets and 311 yards, falling off precipitously from his previous campaigns with the Packers, where Rodgers was under center.
