Aaron Rodgers pinpoints Jets' biggest hurdle: 'It’s us against us'
Jets are 1-4 since firing Robert Saleh
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Things have been going from bad to worse for the New York Jets, and after an ugly loss to the Arizona Cardinals over the weekend, Aaron Rodgers sees the biggest problem being, well, the New York Jets.
During his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers said he believes the Jets’ biggest opponent has been "us."

"I often feel like it’s us against us out there. We’re kind of playing against ourselves, and if we don’t screw it up, we can be a dynamic offense. But unfortunately, too many times, we’ve been the ones screwing it up."

JETS' AARON RODGERS 'COMPLETELY SUCKED THE AIR OUT OF THE BUILDING,' EX-NFL STAR SAYS
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Jets’ season, which began with Super Bowl aspirations, is heading toward familiar territory: disaster.
After a 2-3 start, Robert Saleh was fired as head coach and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was stripped of play-calling duties. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was promoted to interim head coach and Todd Downing began calling offensive plays. But instead of breathing new life into the team, the shake-up has seemingly had no impact; some might argue they’re worse off.
