Aaron Rodgers takes photo with the newly discovered ‘Fountain of Youth’ elixir after the Jets win

Aaron Rodgers is quirky.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, this is a well-known fact about the New York Jets quarterback. Rodgers, who has battled ankle, knee and hamstring injuries this season, recently unveiled an unusual recovery method that has become part of his routine.

Drink cayenne pepper and water.

The 40-year-old quarterback told reporters earlier this week that he started consuming the drink after it was recommended to him by Jets punter Thomas Morstead. Rodgers’ newfound routine, which he called the “fountain of youth”, was met with equal parts fascination, frustration and amusement by fans and pundits.

Even former five-time All-Pro defensive lineman JJ Watt was noticeably miffed with Rodgers during his own weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

But the Jets, after a slow start, went on to win 21-13, made possible by three Rodgers touchdown passes, a touchdown catch on wide receiver Garrett Wilson’s highlight reel and a strong performance by the defense.

And after the game, Rodgers posed for a photo with Morstead, who was holding a bottle labeled “Morstead’s Secret Stuff” in the Jets locker room, indicating the duo seemingly doubled down on the ritual.

“Do you think this is a game?” Morstead wrote in the post on his account on X (formerly Twitter).

Morstead, 38, is in his 16th NFL season and has missed just four games in his career, so perhaps there is something in the brew. Heck, even Watt gave credit where it was due.

The Jets found the right ingredients on offense Thursday night and now have some extended rest before taking on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10.
