With Aaron Rodgers joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, their Week 1 matchup got a little bit juicier. While the New York Jets aren’t one of the Steelers’ biggest rivals, they are Rodgers’ former team. They also have Justin Fields as their starting quarterback. Those factors should add more drama to the game.
“I think it’s going to be fun,” Jets CB Sauce Gardner said recently via the Jets’ YouTube channel. “I think it’s going to be a lot of smiling out there, a lot of competing out there. I’m looking forward to it. I know Aaron is a competitor, they’ve got DK [Metcalf] over there, who’s also a competitor.
