ARLINGTON, Texas — Meet the new Jets offense, same as the old Jets offense.

In their first game without Aaron Rodgers, the 2023 Jets looked a whole lot like the 2022 Jets.

They struggled to move the ball, reached the end zone just once and leaned on a defense that battled but could not completely stop a potent Cowboys offense.

The end result was a 30-10 Jets loss that was not even as close as that score indicates.

The Jets withstood an early barrage from the Cowboys and got to halftime only trailing by one score, 18-10 despite the Cowboys running 45 plays to the Jets’ 24 in the half.  

But the Jets did nothing in the second half and the Cowboys pulled away to drop the Jets to 1-1 this season.

Dallas is 2-0 after beating both New York teams.

The Jets managed just one big play in the game, a 68-yard touchdown to from Zach Wilson to Garrett Wilson.

The rest of the day featured Zach Wilson under a ton of pressure, much of it from Cowboys star Micah Parsons.

This was the Jets’ first week in life after Aaron with Rodgers going down in Week 1 to a torn left Achilles tendon. The Jets swore all week that the loss of Rodgers would not cripple the offense but it clearly did.
