Literal decades in the making, the Pittsburgh Steelers finally have a Week 1 opening-drive TD. The Aaron Rodgers era began with a bang, the new Steelers QB leading the offense downfield and into the end zone Sunday against the New York Jets. It’s the Steelers’ first opening-drive score to begin a season since 2008 and the team’s first in any regular-season game since Week 16 of the 2023 season. After being sacked on his first drop back, Rodgers and the Steelers’ offense recovered and finished the drive with Rodgers hitting WR Ben Skowronek for a 22-yard touchdown.
On the score, Rodgers booted right and hit Skowronek working left to right, wide open for the touchdown.
