However inserting Adams, who lived with Rodgers through the week, into the beginning lineup didn’t jump-start the offense as New York fell to 2-5.

Adams was focused 9 instances however completed with three catches for 30 yards. His presence created room for teammates, however the Jets struggled to complete drives after Rodgers was intercepted twice by Beanie Bishop Jr.
