"Aaron Rodgers returns to MetLife Stadium to face his former team as the Pittsburgh Steelers kick off their 2025 season with a road game against the New York Jets. Rodgers signed on Pittsburgh for what most expect to be his final act in the NFL, having left the Jets following a nightmare spell in New York. Following a blockbuster trade from the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers suffered a ruptured Achilles four plays into his debut with the Jets in 2023,"
"Pittsburgh exited the playoffs in the Wild Card Round last season, their success in reaching the playoffs in part down to Justin Fields, who went 4-2 as a starter for the Steelers to begin the 2024 campaign before being benched for Russell Wilson. Fields signed with the Jets on a two-year contract this offseason and will go against a defense he knows very well as he aims to show the Steelers that they made the wrong decision in not making him their solution under center."
Aaron Rodgers returns to MetLife Stadium to face his former team as the Pittsburgh Steelers open the 2025 season at the New York Jets. Rodgers joined Pittsburgh after a difficult tenure with the Jets that included a ruptured Achilles early in his 2023 debut and a 5-12 season. The Steelers aim to contend after a Wild Card exit, while Justin Fields signed with the Jets and will face a defense he knows well. The Jets lost guard Alijah Vera-Tucker for the season, likely moving Joe Tippmann to right guard. Both defenses feature elite pass rushers who could determine the game's outcome.
