It's déjà vu for the Jets and Aaron Rodgers.

And this time they can only hope that the excitement lasts longer than four games.

Rodgers and the new-look Jets will open the season on “Monday Night Football” for the second straight season, with a Sept. 9 opener scheduled against the 49ers.

The 49ers represented the NFC in the 2024 Super Bowl, giving the Jets quite a challenge as they prepare for their second start of the Rodgers era.

Last year's first attempt began in terrible fashion when Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon just four offensive plays into the home game against the Bills, which ultimately led to an overtime win.
