While the Jets concluded their night with coach Robert Saleh joining a celebratory mob in the end zone, the injury to Rodgers cast a pall over their season.
Saleh said after the game that the injury was to Rodgers' Achilles tendon and that the 39-year-old quarterback would have an MRI on Tuesday.
A night that began with optimism for the Jets turned disappointing before the game was even four minutes old.
Rodgers injured his left ankle when he was sacked by Buffalo’s Leonard Floyd and fell awkwardly on the leg.
NFL Network reported Rodgers’ left foot was in a black walking boot as he was carted to the X-ray room.
