New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that quarterback Aaron Rodgers will start against the Seattle Seahawks, dismissing any rumors of him being benched for the remainder of the season. Despite the Jets' disappointing 3-8 record and Rodgers' struggles this season, Ulbrich noted that Rodgers is feeling healthier than he has in recent weeks. The team is facing mathematical elimination from playoff contention, raising questions about Rodgers' future with the Jets beyond this season.
- Rodgers will start against the Seahawks despite a sub-par season.
- The Jets are close to mathematical elimination from the playoffs.
- Rodgers is feeling healthier but has not had a 300-yard passing game in 33 attempts.
