An inside look at Sunday’s Jets-Packers Week 6 matchup at Lambeau Field.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers vs. Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich

The Jets beat up on Kenny Pickett and Skylar Thompson, two rookies making their NFL debuts, in the past two weeks. Now, they get Rodgers, one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game.

We’ll find out if the defense is for real in this one. Cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed have played well this season, and the pass rush got after Thompson last week with 16 quarterback hits. But Rodgers will get the ball out quicker and will be harder to hit. Ulbrich said the key will be not letting Rodgers figure out what they are doing before the ball is snapped.

“It’s a guy that’s very hard to trick so from a pre-snap standpoint you got to be on your details as far as your body posture, as far as the look, as far as all those things,” Ulbrich said. “Like the pre-snap stuff is huge, if he knows the story, when the ball’s hiked, it can be a long day for you. So, the pre-snap stuff I think is probably the biggest thing to tell him, but tell all those guys.”

The Jets are feeling good after winning two in a row, but this one feels like Mission Impossible. The Packers have won their past 12 games following a loss, and Aaron Rodgers is almost unbeatable at home. I think the Packers jump up early, but the Jets make it close in the second half.

Packers 28, Jets 17

Zach it on: Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is coming off a week in which he was not asked to do a lot, but also one in which he did not turn the ball over. Wilson was 14-for-21 for 210 yards and had one rushing touchdown in the win over the Dolphins. The Jets likely will need more this week out of Wilson, who has not recorded a 300-yard passing game yet in his career.

Wilson will be facing his childhood idol, Aaron Rodgers. The two got to talk last year when the teams held joint practices in Green Bay. Now, Wilson will try to take down his hero.

“Being on the same field as him is cool,” Wilson said. “We’re kind of attacking their defense, so it’s a little bit different. It was probably the same thing last year when we were playing Tampa Bay. It was like, ‘Wow, we’re playing against Tom Brady right now. I’ve watched this guy since I was born which is kind of crazy.’ I’m sure it will be the same kind of thing in this game.”

Dynamic duos: Both teams have a two-headed monster at running back, and this game could come down to which one has the most success.

The Packers have the duo of Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon, who have combined this year for 635 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, plus a receiving touchdown. The Jets have the young guns, Breece Hall and Michael Carter, who have 433 combined rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, as well as a receiving touchdown.

Hall had a huge game last week against the Dolphins, with 197 total yards. It will be interesting to see how playing time is divided this week.

Thanks Giants: The Giants did not do the Jets any favors last week with their 27-22 win over the Packers in London. The Packers are 10-0 following a loss under coach Matt LaFleur and have won their past 12 games after a defeat. The Jets also have to overcome the Packers’ home-field advantage. Green Bay has won 15 straight regular-season games at Lambeau Field. The Packers are 24-3 at home since LaFleur became the coach in 2019. The Jets, who will be trying to win their third straight game for the first time since 2019, are 2-0 on the road this year.

What a rush: The Jets’ pass rush came to life last week against the Dolphins. They had 16 quarterback hits against Teddy Bridgewater and Skylar Thompson. Carl Lawson led the way with seven. Lawson looks to be all the way back from the torn Achilles tendon he suffered last year during joint practices with the Packers in training camp.

“I definitely think it was the best that we’ve seen, the best version of him, and saying that, I also believe that he has a long way to go,” defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich said. “He’s a guy that, he’s getting healthier every day, he’s getting more confident every day, he’s starting to get back to form.”
