Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich reiterated that Aaron Rodgers will start in Week 18 against the Dolphins. Rodgers having perhaps the worst game of his professional career won't stop the Jets from rolling him out in Week 18 to put the finishing touches on a wildly disappointing season. The NFL's leader for career sacks taken threw for 112 yards on 18 attempts in Week 17's loss to the Bills but needs just one more touchdown pass to reach 500 for his career. The decision to start Rodgers doesn't come as much of a surprise, as he'll undoubtedly be chasing his 500th career touchdown pass in what may be the final game of his NFL career. Rodgers and the Jets will have a chance to play spoiler to the Dolphins, who kept their playoff hopes alive with a win over the Browns on Sunday. (Dec 30 -- NBC Sports)
