The New York Jets will open the season at MetLife Stadium against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. First-year coach Aaron Glenn declined to revisit his February decision to release Rodgers. Justin Fields replaced Rodgers and signed a two-year, $40 million deal to become the Jets' starter. Fields will face his previous team in the first season-opening game between quarterbacks who changed teams from the prior year. Fields called the matchup a "crazy" storyline but said it would not affect his preparation. Team responses about facing Rodgers were muted after his injury-filled, 5-12 tenure.

There's no storyline for me," he said matter-of-factly. "It's ball for me, so I'll let you guys kind of handle the storylines, the news lines and stuff like that. In the locker room, we just keep it straight ball.
