Aaron Rodgers will go up to a well -known enemy in the New York Jets in Pittsburgh Steelers’ first match of the 2025 season.
Rodgers were with Jets for two years and tore his Achilles in week 1 of the 2023 season against Buffalo Bills. He recovered in 2024 and put together a decent year with Jets and threw in 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns when New York ended 5-12.

The two parties shared in the high season as Jets welcomed Aaron Glenn as their next head coach.
Rodgers eventually joined Steelers, which created an exciting matchup to begin 2025. But the four-time MVP is not exactly putting too much stock in it.
“Probably nowhere near where it can be made,” Rodgers said on Mad Radio, when he was asked what it would feel like to meet Jets in week 1 .. “Much has changed over there, coaching staff, playing. That, that’s it. ”

Rodgers added that he “really, really would win” with jets. He said that running out at the Metlife Stadium field in 2023 for the first time was a “cool moment”, even though it was taken away from him four pieces later.
“I wish it had gone differently up there for sure, but I put everything I had in it. I tore my Achilles and fought for my ass back to come back to practice to inspire guys and hope to come back. I put a lot into it and I am sorry that it did not work, but I am grateful for the couple of special moments that were.”
