A lot of people believed the Pittsburgh Steelers would win Week 1 against the New York Jets. But most expected a defensive struggle, not both teams’ defenses struggling. QB Aaron Rodgers had quite a Steelers debut, completing 73.3 percent of his passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns in the 34-32 win.
But how much of that was a revenge game for Rodgers? He acknowledged after the game that “it was nice to remind those people that I still can” play winning football. The way in which the Jets dismissed him obviously sat poorly with him.
