The Jets signing a future Hall-of-Famer to an elite roster and getting him to sign a sweetheart deal only for him to get injured on the 4th play of the season is the most Jets thing that could have possibly happened.

Peyton asking who the Jets backup was had me laughing so hard and hearing Eli laugh as well made is that much better.

"Wilson still plays there?!?!" 🤣🤣🤣 God I love Peyton.

This game is the perfect defining game as a Jets fan. - Go crazy over potential HOF QB getting traded. - looks like it may not happen. - news dies about the potential trade. - time passes - all the sudden rumors emerge again. - buzz starts to grow. - media is in a frenzy - trade happens - media goes ape. - Jets fans going ballistic - excitement and hope permeates through fanbase. - build up to season is immense. - Rodgers loves being here - Team rallies behind him - Has a good showing in preseason - Hard knocks - anticipation mounting - week 1 arrives - 4 snaps into the season of 1st drive blows Achilles - fanbase crumbles, suicide watch begins - horrid retread backup enters game. - plays as he's always played, like a rookie. - Team plays spirited due to loss of HOF QB. - They win game in thrilling fashion - fans are blueballed and can't enjoy win due to trauma. - Team must now sign another QB. - misery and depression enters the chat - season is over - PTSD also enters chat. - dangles legs over balcony - pinches self to try to awaken from horrific dream - cries self to sleep. - concludes that his team is cursed and are never allowed good things. - he is right - drinks self into oblivion - debates with self about changing his team - Lay's head on pillow and says out loud "same old Jets

Peyton roasting Zach Wilson was crazy 😂

That reaction from Peyton says it all

As a Bills fan, I was so hyped for this game. My heart goes out to all of Jets Nation and to the organization. Elite D, high-octane offense, HOF QB. This is not how it was supposed to play out. Hoping he fully recovers and steps foot on the field again....albeit in about two years' time.🙏

Peyton with the 80s Quarterbacks roast!😂😂 Richard Todd is a former quarterback for the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints from 1976 to 1986. Ken O'Brien is a former quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. One of the six quarterbacks in the famed quarterback class of 1983

He said.."Zach Wilson still plays there?!" 😂 hell to the NAW!!! DAYUM😂 Lord take the wheel and drive this bus!!!! LMFAO

You can tell Peyton’s genuinely in his feelings by how extra country he sounded 😅 0:03 “He’s dao … *HE’S DaOuWn!* “ 🤣

I wasn't expecting the Omaha at the end. I was laughing so hard lol

As a 9ers fan, hurt QB’s are nothing to joke about. Hope he makes it back on the field soon as possible.

I just love how Peyton didn't know who the backup was.

Peyton out here reading injuries like he read defenses. Seeing stuff before everyone else

Just brutal man. Absolutely catastrophic. The biggest story from the off season, a new chapter for Rodgers career, a reinvigorated Jets team with fans and analysts talking about winning super bowls, and it ends 4 plays into the first game of the season. Months and months of build up and anticipation and planning for 4 plays. Heart breaking for everyone involved.

Can we just agree that the Manning cast is amazing?

Disastrous start for New York football this year...

Okay the Richard Todd and Ken O'Brien refences🤣😂

Watching Eli in the zone mathing is a thing of beauty

There reactions are so pure and unfiltered. Its genuine shock and they instantly feel for Rodgers, just a bad luck situation.

"WILSON STILL PLAYS THERE?!?" 🤣🤣🤣

The mannings have the best reaction to all things LOL

This makes the butt fumble look like the Giants helmet catch in the Super Bowl

One look at how Peyton reacted told me everything, dang I hate to see that happen to any quarterback this early in the season

I'm 39, I work out, eat healthy and take care of my self. It took me 3 days to recover from raking leaves and laying down mulch. Aaron Rodger's ego is 28 years, his body is 39 lol. Lesson learned.

“He still plays there?! I thought all they had was Aaron Rogers. I thought he was the only QB on that entire roster.” 😂😂😂

As a 42 year old about 5 months into my recovery from an Achilles tear, my heart goes out to Rodgers. Hate to see him go out like that. But that’s unfortunately probably curtains on a 39-year-old.

Peyton and Eli's expressions here say so much about the love NFL QBs have for each other. Their hearts hurt for Aaron so much here. I love the comradery and brotherhood seen in the Bros' eyes in this moment.

I appreciate their genuine concern but the backup qb convo still made this lowkey hilarious! 😆 Speedy recovery A-Rod.

I didn't realize they still had Zach Wilson. Nice to see I wasn't alone.

Please, keep it coming guys

I know it's just a game at the end of the day, but my heart goes out to Rodgers, his teammates, and Jets fans. As a fellow long-suffering fan of the Lions, you'd think I'd take some sick pleasure in this, but not even close. Was excited to see him ball out for the Jets, now that he was in another conference far away from my Lions. Glass half full, if the injury was going to happen I guess the earlier the better. The Jets now have to figure out if Wilson can get mashed in to form with Rodgers playing the part of coach, or if they can possibly pull a solid veteran out of retirement. This Jets team is absolutely stacked with talent on both sides, and can still be a playoff team and contender, they proved that last night.

I love these guys having Ryan Fitzpatrick on. Didn’t know much about him; he’s alot of fun too!

Packers front office laying down some legendary high-fives right now.

Great banter from Peyton. 😀

Best wishes and a speedy recovery Aaron Rodgers and good luck to the Jets.

Eli's face when watching the video says it all

As a Vikings fan… I was finally going to able to root for Aaron this season. Sincerely hope it is not season ending. I was looking forward to watching a legendary run for the Jets.

Its so good watching the game with the Bros.

Hey Aaron, thanks for coming. Sincerely, New York Jets Fans.

Eli with that face bro!! Lmfao. Love it.

Sure looks like an Achilles to me. That delayed sit down after they realize they can't flex their calf is how I've seen a lot of Achilles injuries look.

Looked like nothing happened. He was standing, then looked at the sidelines and sat down.

The look on their faces!!! Priceless!

The NFL script writers really had some surprises in store for week 1. Like game of thrones where they kill off your favorite character early on

I feel so so bad for the Jets fans, coaches and the players. It is so hard to watch. All the hype and sold out crowd. I hope he is on Pat McAFee tomorrow for Aaron R Tuesdays. 😢

What a nightmare for the Jets and Rodgers. Hope he recovers as quickly and completely as possible.

1:01 "Wilson? Wilson still plays there??". Peyton Manning just shocked that Wilson is the Jets backup or even still plays in the NFL.

Career ender…thanks for the good times Mr. Rodgers

The most New York Jets thing to ever happen, ever.

Hope for a speedy recovery

Damn, I was so looking forward to seeing him play on another team.

Aaron complained about the O-line throughout training camp smh

Eli 😂😂😂 “three plays” nooooooo

The Richard Todd, Kenny O’Brien reference is outstanding!!

This is LITERALLY like that Family Guy bit making fun of the Mets. "It's Opening Day! Here's the first pitch... And the season's over!"

that's why when you are older as QB, if you see pass rusher coming in, there's no way you can outrun them..just fall down to min this kind of injuries.

I watched three times. I still didn’t see how Rodgers got hurt.

Such nuanced commentary. Well done boys.

Wow just some of the best commentary ever. Wow

Same leg/calf he tweaked early in camp (similar to KD). Was a ticking bomb. Hey Cincy, keep an eye on Joe 😬

He better get his ass back out there and complete 65% of this season.

I'm surprised more people aren't speaking about how the injury happened and the grass they are playing on. His foot got planted and caught up in the grass while trying to spin. If only they had real grass/dirt so his foot would have slipped through instead of getting tangled.

And he was so happy to be there. I feel so bad for him even though I’m a Packers fan

As a Packer fan who grew very, very tired of the act...I am genuinely sorry to see it end like this. Not what I wanted.

Love the manning cast

I love to watch the Mannings when I have trouble falling asleep.

LOVE the Richard Todd reference 😁

😅😅😅😅He said I'm done for the season guys pay me my money

Man wtf that LT was doin. Why would he try to chop block 😂

Between the Manning Bros and Tony Romeo, watching FB is fun and educational for many.

I can guarantee you this will make it harder for any late 30's QB to get signed in the future

Eli you have one more season in you for New york ? Please...😅

Richard Todd 😂 I haven’t heard that name in decades 😂

Eli’s dumb stare is the best in the business

I'm a Chiefs fan and I was excited to watch the Jets play this year when I could. That really blows. Jets are a cursed franchise dude.

I love how Eli just froze for a moment. I think that was the general feel. I mean the first five minutes?! Wow. Hope it isn't too bad. I also hope this will not be a second season of quarterbacks dropping like flies!

You've got to have a top notch line to protect a 40 something QB. He had free people rushing at him every play. Rodgers isn't supposed to be this brittle though!

"Who's the backup, Richard Todd or Ken O'Brien?" 🤣🤣 Talk about flashbacks! Gotta love those 80's Jets.

Torn Achilles tendon. Out for the season. If I'm Zack I'm sitting and standing next to Rodgers in every game , every moment learning everything I can from Aaron!

The script writing is incredible this year!

The difference between their reactions is just so good 😂

A million views and counting. 1day in. This country deserves all it gets

Watching the trainer struggle and - *FAIL* - to put the side gate up on the cart was just icing on the cake.

We knew the tackles were a problem but wow

The saddest part about this is all of the fans next to him on the stretcher with their phones out recording him. People are so disconnected from reality now 👎

I just enjoy the Manning cast on Mondays!!!!

So funny that Payton looks concerned biting his hand and Eli has the unconcerned look mouth wide open 😆

Who's the backup? Is Broadway Joe still on the team? I hope Rodgers has a speedy recovery.

Payton contorted till he looked like Gary Sinese!😂

Who is the backup? LMMFAO 🤣 🤣 🤣

Peyton reaction PURE GOLD!!!! I imagine Rodgers be back in 4-6 weeks let’s hope but that 50 mill will make him feel better.

This is not just a Jets phenomenon, this is a NY sports thing.

😂😂😂Peyton funny af....I didn't know they had anyone else....put some tape on it and get back in there😂😂😂😂He's allowed to say whatever he wants being one of the greatest ever

It’s unfortunate, but not unusual for guys who don’t get enough reps during the preseason. The speed of the game during the regular season is different, which is why Brady and Mahomes always played meaningful minutes in the preseason. That way, they could hit the ground running on opening day. Hope it’s just an ankle sprain.

I call BS on the ruptured Achilles. He's standing there perfectly fine, then nonchalantly lays down on the ground, then walks off with a couple of trainers not even looking like he's in pain. Tell you what, no one with a ruptured Achilles walks off the field like that.

When Peyton said Richard Todd, I fell out😄

Peyton’s Richard Todd/Ken O’Brien comment is so underrated.

Love how Peyton forgets Wilson is still there while Eli forgets that Wilson was actually drafted 2 years ago right behind Trevor Lawrence

Peyton yanking Richard Todd into 2023 is hilarious to the 17 people who know who he was. Also, calling any face Eli makes a "reaction" is stressing the limits of the word like Lizzo's unitard.
