New York Jets HC Robert Saleh is seemingly throwing Aaron Rodgers under the bus

With a chance to win a game, in typical New York Jets fashion, they had no business winning it when it mattered most.

Aaron Rodgers threw his third interception of the day late in the fourth quarter, cementing the Minnesota Vikings' win, a position he had accomplished most of his career.

If any organization understands what Rodgers did with a few minutes left and a touchdown in the fourth quarter, it's the Vikings.

Instead, they trusted that their defense would go out and stop them and did just that.

It was a terrible day for the future Hall of Famer as he simply wasn't as good as he needed to be. There won't be much more to say about the Jets until he starts figuring it out.

If Rodgers isn't going to be the quarterback he once was, New York shouldn't expect to be a playoff team. Sure, they have other guys, but as they've seen over the last two weeks, that talent means nothing if they still can't score points.

And from the sounds of it, it could be even worse than it looks.

Rodgers took the blame for the defeat and admitted it wasn't a good performance.

“You just have to be honest about your performance every week and hold yourself to a standard,” Rodgers said, according to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post. “Obviously I was below my standard.”

However, head coach Robert Saleh seemed to put some pressure on him after the loss.

“Up and down, of course,” Saleh said. “Unfortunately, that pick-six was a big difference in the game.”

If Saleh doesn't stand up for his quarterback, he can expect to lose the locker room soon.

Saleh and Rodgers have a confusing relationship. While from the outside it may not be as bad as it seems, there are moments that make you wonder if they are fans of each other.

It's also fair to ask whether Saleh is starting to think he could lose his job.

In recent years he has been able to look at who was the center of attention and blame them. Unfortunately, the Jets head coach can no longer do that. Whether he wants to blame Nathaniel Hackett, Rodgers or anyone else, at the end of the day, this is his team.

If New York doesn't start winning games, he'll be the one blamed.
