4 winners (and 3 losers) from Jets' heartbreaking Week 1 loss to Steelers

The New York Jets didn’t get the result they wanted in Week 1, but there were still reasons for optimism in their season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A new era under Aaron Glenn officially kicked off, and the team showed flashes of growth despite the heartbreaking 34-32 finish at MetLife Stadium. Both Justin Fields and Aaron Rodgers impressed in their respective revenge games.

From Fields’ excellent debut to standout performances on both sides of the ball, the Jets proved they have pieces to build around in 2025. There were also costly mistakes that need to be addressed, but plenty for fans to feel encouraged about moving forward.
