NFL Hall of Fame Game

Aaron Rodgers has yet to throw a pass in a game for the New York Jets. He’s already responsible for a long completion.  Zach Wilson showed he can move New York’s offense as a backup quarterback, but the Jets kicked off the Rodgers Era with a 21-16 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night in the Hall of Fame game.  It was a battle of rookies and reserves as both teams rested their starters in the NFL’s inaugural game of 2023.  As both teams formed a tunnel near midfield, this year’s Hall of Fame class was introduced before the opening kickoff.  Of course, the biggest ovation went to former Browns tackle Joe Thomas, who waved to the thousands of Cleveland fans packing Tom Benson Stadium. New inductee DeMarcus Ware sang the national anthem.
