Aaron Rodgers had no problem admitting he thoroughly enjoyed sticking it to the New York Jets and their head coach, Aaron Glenn, in Week 1.
No one expected the Jets’ Week 1 clash with the Steelers to be a shootout. But that’s exactly what it was as Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields played very well versus their former teams on Sunday. However, the future Hall-of-Famer had a bit more to prove against New York.
In the offseason, after being hired as the team’s new head coach, one of Aaron Glenn’s first acts as the leader was to let the four-time NFL MVP know his services were no longer required. Being sent packing put Rodgers in free agency for the first time in his illustrious career, where he eventually signed with Pittsburgh.
In a perfect setup for great sports storytelling, the Jets and Steelers faced off in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Give the legend a chance to get back at his former team and the man who fired him. And he did that by leading the Steelers to a late come-from-behind, 34-32 victory.
