Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers delivered a dazzling debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers—throwing four touchdown passes and leading a thrilling 34–32 comeback victory against his former team, the New York Jets. Opening the season with a statement performance, Rodgers completed 22 of 30 passes for 244 yards and zero interceptions, showing he’s still a premier playmaker at age 41.
The climactic finish featured a franchise-record 60-yard field goal by Chris Boswell with just over a minute left, and a critical fourth-down pass breakup by Jalen Ramsey sealed the win. That explosive late-game surge emphasized Rodgers’s competitive spirit and clutch execution.
Reflecting on the win, Rodgers admitted a satisfying sense of redemption, remarking he was “happy to beat everyone associated with the Jets.” With this compelling start, Rodgers not only positioned the Steelers for a strong playoff push but also underlined that he remains a force to be reckoned with in the NFL.
