The New York Jets have announced a significant coaching change following the firing of head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich has named Todd Downing the new offensive play-caller, replacing Nathaniel Hackett. This decision was communicated to the team's coaches prior to Saleh's departure on Tuesday. Aaron Rodgers, the team's quarterback, has expressed understanding of the change. Downing, who previously served as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, will take over play-calling duties starting with Monday night's game against the Buffalo Bills. Ulbrich will handle defensive play-calling responsibilities.
