Aaron Rodgers plays for the New York Jets in the NFL. After an illustrious 18-season career with the Green Bay Packers, where he became one of the league's most celebrated quarterbacks, the Packers traded Rodgers to the Jets before the 2023 season. Rodgers led the Packers to a Super Bowl victory in 2011 and has earned multiple MVP awards.

In the highly anticipated Monday Night Football opener for Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season, the New York Jets will face off against the San Francisco 49ers. The game will showcase key storylines and predictions.


Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers aims to recover from the Achilles injury that ended his 2023 season in Week 1. Throughout his career, Rodgers has a 6-3 regular-season record against the 49ers but is 0-4 in the playoffs.

Aaron Rodgers' Record vs the 49ers

Aaron Rodgers has had mixed results against the San Francisco 49ers, both in the regular season and the playoffs. He has faced the 49ers 13 times, recording 6 wins and 7 losses, including a 6-3 record in the regular season and an 0-4 record in the playoffs. In regular-season play, Rodgers has competed in 9 games against San Francisco, where he accumulated 2,597 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and just 2 interceptions. Noteworthy games include his 425-yard performance in 2018 and a 305-yard, four-touchdown game in 2020.

In contrast, Rodgers' playoff experiences against the 49ers have been less successful. He has faced them four times in the postseason but has not secured a win. His playoff defeats include the 2012 Divisional Round (45-31), the 2013 Wild Card Round (23-20), the 2020 NFC Championship Game (37-20), and the 2021 Divisional Round (13-10). These losses have amplified the rivalry between Rodgers and the 49ers, a team that notably passed on drafting him in 2005, adding another layer to their clashes.

Looking ahead to the Monday Night Football matchup, the New York Jets will take on the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium. The 49ers, favored by 4 points, are led by quarterback Brock Purdy and star running back Christian McCaffrey. Purdy’s ability to handle pressure will be key, particularly against the Jets’ aggressive defense, which excelled last season in both total and pass defense.

Aaron Rodgers, making his long-anticipated return after missing much of the previous season due to injury, will play a critical role. If he can effectively leverage the Jets’ strengthened offensive line and running game, led by Breece Hall, they could stay competitive. The Jets' chances may ultimately depend on their ability to exploit any weaknesses in the 49ers’ run defense, especially with injuries impacting key defenders.
