Aaron Rodgers breaks long drought with first 300-yard day as Jets QB

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Aaron Rodgers’ string of NFL starts without passing for at least 300 yards ended Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. 

Rodgers had 339 yards passing at the end of regulation before the Dolphins marched to an overtime touchdown for a 32-26 win over the New York Jets.

It had been 34 starts since Rodgers last hit the passing milestone. 

Rodgers had 341 yards and four touchdowns with the Green Bay Packers against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 12, 2021. It was the last of three straight games with more than 300 yards passing for Rodgers. 

He failed to eclipse 300 yards passing in his final 21 games with the Packers.
