During the quarterback's post-game press conference, a reporter asked Rodgers if he agreed with Ulbrich's assessment. The 40-year-old struck an odd mix of inspirational and ominous.

After the 2022 season, he famously went on a darkness retreat in which he sat in a pitch-black room with nothing but his thoughts to pass the time. He credited the experience for clarifying his desire to keep playing football. Since Rodgers has returned to the light, darkness has greeted its own friend. An Achilles injury wiped out his 2023 campaign, and the 2-6 Jets have no margin for error to keep their dwindling playoff hopes alive.
