Aaron Rodgers was "supportive" of the New York Jets' decision to strip Nathaniel Hackett of play-calling duties, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters.

Two days after abruptly firing head coach Robert Saleh, the New York Jets are also undergoing significant change on the offensive side of the ball. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Thursday that Todd Downing will replace Nathaniel Hackett as the team's play-caller and have "final say" on the offense moving forward.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in responding to what he called "ridiculous allegations" denied having any role in the firing of coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday.

Rodgers and Saleh both tried to pour cold water over rumors regarding their relationship ahead of the game against the Vikings in Week 5.

Tight end Tyler Conklin said during a video call with reporters he thought the quarterback “probably took this harder than almost anybody” because it was clear that “it weighed heavy on him.”
