Steelers determine path forward for Cam Heyward ahead of NFL season kick-off in Pittsburgh

Aaron Rodgers Set to Make Steelers Debut Against Former Team

Sunday afternoon will see a historic moment as Aaron Rodgers, the 41-year-old quarterback, makes his first start for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the New York Jets. This game holds a special significance for Rodgers, who previously played for the Jets before his release, as he considers it his current Super Bowl, according to a source close to him.

Rodgers, who is now leading the Steelers, has expressed a strong desire to win the game by a significant margin, ideally by 60 points. This ambition is fueled by the fact that a loss to the Jets would be devastating, the source added.

The Steelers, led by the veteran quarterback and the defensive prowess of Cam Heyward, are favourites going into the game. Heyward, a 36-year-old defensive tackle, has recently agreed to a new deal with the Steelers, and his presence on the field significantly increases the team's chances of victory.

The Jets, on the other hand, are a more of an unknown quantity going into Week One compared to the Steelers. The new head coach of the Jets, Aaron Glenn, decided to start afresh with a younger quarterback, which could pose a challenge for the Steelers.

Rodgers' contract with the Steelers includes $3 million in incentives, but no specific details have been provided about these incentives. The incentives are for reaching the playoffs and winning in the postseason, which Rodgers will undoubtedly be aiming for.

The game will take place in New Jersey, with Heyward also playing against his former team. However, no details were provided about any potential feelings Rodgers might have towards Glenn's handling of the situation.

Despite the high stakes, Rodgers seems determined to make a strong start with his new team. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see how the game unfolds and whether Rodgers can lead the Steelers to a decisive victory against his former team.
