Meanwhile, the Jets (2-3) have completely changed their game.

Owner Woody Johnson surprisingly fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday, disappointed with the direction his team seemed to be heading.

Rodgers and the offense will have a different voice after Ulbrich beat out Nathaniel Hackett and promoted passing game coordinator Todd Downing, also the Jets’ quarterbacks coach.
