• FOR THE WEEK OF SEpTEmbER 11 - 17, 2023 • YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO TV ENTERTAINmENT Mark Duplass and Jennifer Aniston in "The Morning Show" The NFL is back in action, as the new-look New York Jets kick off their season Monday, Sept. 11, at Metlife Stadium, facing the Buffalo Bills, last season's AFC East winners and division foes. The game airs on ESPN and ABC, with kick-off at 8:15 p.m. It was all New York Jets this off-season as the acquisition of likely Hall of Fame-bound quarterback, now former Green Bay Packer, Aaron Rodgers took the NFL headlines by storm. The 39-year-old enters his 19th season, joining a Jets team coming off a disappointing 2022 campaign, having missed the playoffs for a 12th straight year. With Rodgers now manning the ship, he brings a new sense of optimism as the Jets officially enter an era of raised expectations and excitement the team hasn't felt in years. Speaking with reporters following the first official day of Jets training camp, Rodgers said he welcomes the added hype and pressure. "We want everyone to jump on the wagon now," Rodgers told reporters. "High expectations are a good thing." Set to face an elite Buffalo squad that has won the AFC East three years in a row, Rodgers and the Jets will have to be sharp right out of the gate. The Bills have gone 5-1 since 2020 in head-to-head clashes and are 68-57 overall (since 1960). Last season the Jets came out victorious in Week 9 as they defeated the Bills 20-17 in the Big Apple. The Jets played an excellent defensive game sacking Bills quarterback Josh Allen eight times and forcing him to throw for two interceptions. While still playing for Green Bay, Rodgers and the Packers were defeated in their Week 8 matchup against the Bills, but despite the loss, Rodgers put up significantly better numbers (63% completion rating, two touchdowns, and 91.4% passer rating). Aaron Rodgers makes Jets season debut on Monday Night Football By Roberto Jozef playerprofile By Adam Thomlison Q: What has Jeffrey Don- ovan been doing since "Burn Notice"? A: He's been coming full circle, in a way. The popularity of USA Net- work's dramedy "Burn Notice," which ran from 2007 to 2013, caught many by surprise and turned star Jeffrey Donovan into a leading man. Rather than pursue hunky-he- ro stardom, though, he soon switched to supporting roles in weightier projects. That includ- ed playing morally complex characters who flirted with outright villainy in major films such as "Sicario" (2015) and "Wrath of Man" (2021). But he recently turned back to- ward straightforward heroism, and leading-man status, on "Law & Order." He joined the revival of NBC's flagship cop drama in 2021, playing Det. Frank Cosgrove, the latest in a long line of detectives who anchor the "Order" aspect of the show. (For anyone who, somehow, has never seen an episode of "Law & Order," the episodes are generally divided into two halves, one follow- ing cops and one following lawyers.)
