Aaron Rodgers return to MetLife Stadium wasn’t just a season opener, it was a story fueled by unfinished business.

At 41 years old, the quarterback led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a dramatic 34-32 victory over the New York Jets, a team where he endured a brief yet turbulent stint.

But beyond the stats, 244 yards, four touchdown passes, and a standout performance despite being sacked four times. The spotlight centered on the shadow of his split with Jets head coach Aaron Glenn.

Aaron Rodgers and his revenge in New York: the open wound with Aaron Glenn

Rodgers didn’t hide his satisfaction after the win. “I was glad to beat everyone connected to the Jets,” he admitted bluntly. His words revealed that this showdown was not only about football, but also deeply personal.

The four-time NFL MVP still holds resentment over how his exit from New York was handled 144 days earlier, when Glenn informed him the Jets were going “in another direction” at quarterback.

That meeting, which Rodgers described as confusing and disrespectful, continues to shape the narrative.

On The Pat McAfee Show, he recalled flying cross-country expecting an open conversation. But they gave him a message he believed they could have delivered in a simple phone call.

Aaron Glenn at the center of controversy

The tension between the two is no secret. Rodgers still remembers the moment when Glenn, accompanied by the general manager, bluntly asked if he truly wanted to keep playing football.

Minutes later, the coach announced the Jets would take a different path. For Rodgers, that scene wasn’t just a professional blow but a personal one.

Now, the veteran quarterback has found in the Steelers a new stage to prove his career is far from over.

The victory in New York was more than just a promising season start, it was a reminder that Rodgers neither forgets nor forgives easily.

Glenn and the Jets still must justify their decision, but Rodgers has already written the first chapter of this rivalry with the upper hand.
