Aaron Rodgers will play his first game for the New York Jets in what should be an entertaining clash against the Buffalo Bills. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the game is set for September 11.
The NFL will release its full schedule for next season on Thursday night, however, some games have already been announced while some others have been leaked.
ESPN has revealed that the first Monday Night Football matchup will be played by the aforementioned outfits on said date. Given that both teams are expected to compete for glory this season, it’s a great way to start them off.
