Aaron Rodgers isn't making his first game with the Pittsburgh Steelers out to be more than it is. The quarterback will face his former team, the New York Jets, to start the 2025 campaign, but said it won't be more than a regular-season game.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal for the 2025 season, the consensus was clear: this was a final, all-in push for a championship before the legendary quarterback retired.
