If New York Jets veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers had any advice for New England Patriots rookie Drake Maye after Thursday night's game, he wants it to stay between them.
As his post-game press conference ended following New York's 24-3 win, Rodgers was asked if he had any wise words for Maye and he responded, "That's a private conversation" as he walked off the podium:

Maye had a brief interaction with Rodgers on the field after waiting for him to complete his post-game interview with Amazon's Prime Video:

Maye got his first taste of NFL action against the Jets, replacing veteran starter Jacoby Brissett for the final 4:24 of Thursday's game. The 2024 No. 3 pick completed four of his eight passes for 22 yards and was sacked twice. First-year head coach Jerod Mayo didn't reveal whether a quarterback change is under consideration.
"I don't know," Mayo said. "We talk every single week that you're competing for a job. We'll get together as a coaching staff and see where it goes."
While Rodgers refused to reveal what he told Maye after the game, the 40-year-old put on a vintage performance that should serve as a lesson for the North Carolina product. Rodgers threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns on 27-of-35 passing to lead the Jets to their first home win against the Patriots since 2015.
Rodgers and New York will try to earn their third straight win when they return to action in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos.
