Aaron Rodgers flew back into MetLife on a green Jet\u2026 only this time he was wearing black & gold. \ud83d\udee9\ufe0f\u26ab\ufe0f\ud83d\udfe1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jets told him he couldn\u2019t play anymore. They gave him the \u201c20-second breakup speech\u201d back in April. At 41 years old, he was supposed to be finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Week 1 turned into a four-touchdown reminder. Rodgers went 22 of 30 for 244 yards and 4 TDs, slicing up his former team while Steelers fans chanted his name in their house. He even opened the game with Pittsburgh\u2019s first Week 1 opening-drive TD since 2008, then closed it with back-to-back strikes and a 60-yard Boswell bomb that iced the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final score: Steelers 34, Jets 32.
Final word: Rodgers 1 \u2014 Jets 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Rodgers didn\u2019t hide the satisfaction afterward: \u201cThere were probably people in the organization that didn\u2019t think I could play anymore. So, it was nice to remind those people that I still can. I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets.\u201d \ud83d\udc80<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boos rained down. The Jets tried to show love pregame. None of it mattered. Rodgers got the best of them this time \u2014 and maybe, just maybe, Pittsburgh has one more run left in his arm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
