The Aaron Rodgers era with the Jets will begin under the lights in primetime.

On “Good Morning America,” Pro Football Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Troy Aikman revealed the Jets will host the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football Sept. 11 at MetLife Stadium. The two teams split their meetings last year as the Jets shocked the Bills at MetLife Stadium 20-17 last November. Buffalo got its revenge at home in December, 20-12.

This is the second Jets primetime game announced before Thursday night’s schedule release. On Wednesday, it was announced the Jets would host the Dolphins on the first NFL Black Friday game on Amazon Prime on Nov. 24 at MetLife Stadium. The rest of the Jets schedule will be revealed on Thursday at 8 p.m.

The Rodgers effect is real, as Gang Green has already received more national television games than a year ago. During the 2022 season, the Jets was featured once in primetime, a loss to the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football last December.

With the addition of Rodgers, many expect the Jets to contend in the AFC and make the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Now the Jets will get an early chance to see where they stand in the AFC East as they will play the Bills, who have won the division the last three seasons.

“As soon as they made the trade and got Aaron Rodgers, they immediately are in the Super Bowl conversation, and rightfully so,” Aikman said on ESPN. “They have a really talented football team and it is going to be a lot of interest, of course.

“Watching Aaron Rodgers this offseason and for us to get them Week 1 against a really good Buffalo Bills team will be fantastic.”
