Aaron Rodgers’ 20th NFL season has been a rough one so far as he’s dealt with numerous injuries along with the Jets’ disappointing record of 2-6.
To deal with the injuries, Rodgers is trying a new formula recommended by 38-year-old punter Thomas Morstead, who is in the middle of his 18th season in the NFL, as well.
“T-Mo gave me a little ‘fountain of youth’ that he said he’s been taking for a while,” Rodgers told reporters Tuesday. “All legal, of course. … He’s been taking cayenne pepper and water. So he gave me some before the game. I felt pretty good. I’ve been kind of gassing him up that [his suggestion is why] I’ve been feeling so good. I’m not sure how much that’s playing a factor.”

Hopefully the cayenne pepper and water help because the Jets desperately need a win on Thursday night against the Houston Texans.
