The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority when he quotes coach Nick Nurse saying that Embiid's injury was unrelated to what has been bothering him.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents the Jets as a dysfunctional team when they are actually performing well on the field. Secondly, it portrays Aaron Rodgers as being responsible for creating divisions within the organization and causing intense workplace dysfunction despite evidence to suggest otherwise.
The article states that 'this was the starry vision of New York's Aaron Rodgers era: The aging superstar quarterback, slinging dimes and buoyed by an elite defense.' However, this is not accurate as the Jets are currently performing well on the field.
The article claims that head coach Robert Saleh turned Rodgers' absence into a rationalization. This is misleading as there was no evidence to suggest that Rodgers was responsible for any of the team's poor performance.

Additionally, there are examples of inflammatory rhetoric used to make a point, such as when the author describes Rodgers-ification of the organization producing intense workplace dysfunction.
