It wasn’t pretty, but there are no style points in football.
All that matters is what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, and on Sunday it showed the Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the New York Jets 34-32, at MetLife Stadium to move to 1-0 on the season.
On a day in which the Steelers couldn’t do much of anything right defensively, 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers was everything the Steelers hoped he would be. He threw four touchdown passes and led a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter to defeat his old team, dragging the Steelers to a season-opening win in thrilling fashion.
