Ever since the Pittsburgh Steelers' schedule was announced, NFL fans have had their Week 1 contest against the New York Jets circled because of the Aaron Rodgers connection. Of course, that was before he even signed with the franchise. Yinzers have been looking forward to it because Justin Fields is now leading Gang Green.
While many Steelers fans would have loved to see Fields stay in Pittsburgh, there’s no doubt the postseason hopes for Pittsburgh are much higher with Rodgers under center. For most of that portion of the fanbase, there instead lies some hope that Fields will finally catch on and prove himself as a starting quarterback - at least, after Week 1, of course.
