The Pittsburgh Steelers visited the New York Jets in Week 1 in a reunion for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The veteran quarterback played two seasons in the Meadowlands before landing with Mike Tomlin’s squad this year. In his revenge matchup, he diced up his former team, unlike Pittsburgh fans have seen in five years. Rodgers threw four touchdowns, the first Steelers quarterback to do so since 2020.
“Steelers haven’t had a QB throw 4 TD passes in a game since November 15th, 2020. That’s a span of 76 games and six different starting QBs. Til Aaron Rodgers showed up,” Chris Admanski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
Rodgers threw his third touchdown to running back Jaylen Warren at the beginning of the fourth quarter. That cut the Jets’ lead to 26-24. Xavier Gipson fumbled the ensuing kickoff, giving the Steelers an automatic red-zone possession. Two plays later, touchdown number four landed in Calvin Austin’s hands.
