Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers reunited in Week 9, delivering an impressive performance that has silenced their critics. The New York Jets took down the Houston Texans 21-13, improving to a 3-6 record, with Adams stepping up to defend his recent trade to the Jets. Taking to social media, Adams responded to critics, writing, “Shit, it took a second to get Rome put together too.”
In a standout moment, Rodgers connected with Adams on a stunning 37-yard touchdown pass that helped seal the win during Thursday Night Football. Rodgers completed 22 of 32 passes for 211 yards and threw three touchdowns, while Adams made seven catches for 91 yards, even after being evaluated for a head injury in the second half.
This game silenced many who had doubted their reunion after the Jets’ 15-37 loss to the Steelers the previous week. Critics had claimed their chemistry was off, but Adams responded with confidence, blaming game conditions for the prior performance. He emphasized his excitement about the Jets’ offensive talent, stating, “I’m fired up, man… the offense that we have, the weapons that we have… it’s kind of crazy.”
Rodgers attributed his own strong performance to improved physical health, stating on The Pat McAfee Show that he’s been feeling better after dealing with issues since Week 4. He shared, “Body feels pretty good… just going to stay relaxed, take care of my body.” Now, with renewed energy and Adams by his side, Rodgers is showing his elite playmaking abilities once a
gain.
