After a disappointing start to the 2024 NFL regular season, with a loss on the road to the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in the Bay Area, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets have bounced back with two consecutive wins over the last two weeks.
Although the opponents are not in the same category as the 49ers in terms of being stacked on both sides of the football, the Jets are winning the games they are supposed to right now, which is a good sign moving forward with Rodgers under center.
The Jets defeated the Tennessee Titans on the road in Week 2 and then crushed the division-rival New England Patriots in the team’s home opener at MetLife Stadium.
Along with Rodgers looking like he’s back to form as one of the best quarterbacks in the league, the Jets have something to build off of heading into Week 4 when the team will host the Denver Broncos, who are fresh off an impressive win over Baker Mayfield’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Ahead of the Week 4 showdown with Sean Payton’s squad, the Jets brass have decided to make a couple of moves, with the team signing safety Jalen Mills and linebacker Brandon Smith while also releasing safety Jaylen Key from the practice squad, according to the team’s X account.
We’ve signed S Jalen Mills and LB Brandon Smith to the practice squad and released S Jaylen Key from the practice squad.

The addition of Mills seems to be the most notable of the two additions on the defensive side of the football team, as the one-time Super Bowl champion might be able to bring some championship experience to this team moving forward.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Jets can keep up their winning ways this weekend, with the Broncos seemingly figuring something out last week against the Buccaneers.
