I only really watched the 2nd half so if anyone thinks Rodgers had a better game let me know but from what I saw…
If you only watched the 2nd half, it seemed like Rodgers outplayed Darnold. I believe in the 2nd half both had one INT and Darnold had a number of bad throws.
I’d also put a lot of that on KOC not being able to properly adjust a game plan that likely relied heavily on Jones once he went down. I’d bet it left Darnold needing to improvise a lot with more pressure coming at him and more coverage on the receivers from the Jets knowing he was going to be passing more, leading to a lot of mistakes on forced passes to Jefferson.
Rodgers wasn’t overthrowing his receivers. Once Jones(VIkings RB) was out, things got really tough for Darnold.
Credits to the Jets secondary, they run a tight coverage around the back.
Edit: Rodgers last pass of the game, I don’t understand where he was going with the ball or Williams didn’t turn where he was supposed to.
Ironically Jones to help Rodgers look a lot better too. I’m not trying to say Rodgers was ever not great, but there were a few years he relied heavily on Jones
