Players To Watch:
New York: Quarterback – Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers last season on Monday night suffered his season-ending injury and the Jets saw the struggle without him as they finished 7-10. Now Rodgers is back and healthy and the Jets will go as far as he takes them as they have one of the best defenses in all of football now, they need to offense to match them, and with Rodgers healthy it should do just that. He faces a top defense tonight in his first game back but look for him to establish the passing game early.
San Francisco: Running Back – Christian McCaffrey
It’s no secret that McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in the league but can he get going with Trent Williams potentially out? They also will have Brandon Aiyuk on a snap count so tonight’s game will need to be a McCaffrey game on the ground and in the air if the 49ers want to start the season 1-0.
