Steelers’ overlooked star may hold the key to Week 1 victory

The long wait is finally over. Football is back, and for the Pittsburgh Steelers, all eyes are on Week 1 as they travel to face the New York Jets in a game that already feels bigger than just an opening act.

That is especially true for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who makes his Steelers debut after an offseason full of anticipation. Skipping preseason action, Rodgers made it clear he’s saving his energy for moments that truly matter. And there might not be a more meaningful start than going toe-to-toe with his former team, who moved on from him after just one season.
