Aaron Rodgers helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a week 1 win against his former team, the New York Jets... It was a 34-32 win with a game winning field goal by the Steelers from 60 yards. Aaron Rodgers came in looking for revenge against his old team, and already is taking shots at them, including the head coach...
List of QBs with 240 Pass Yards, 4 Pass TD and 0 INT in their team debut over last 60 NFL seasons... Just one. Just Aaron Rodgers, so it is safe to say he showed the Jets what they could missing this year.
Asked whether there was any significance in beating the new Jets head coach, Aaron Glenn, Rodgers replied, “I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets.”

Let's not forget what happened... Aaron Rodgers was ready to stay in New York, but the new Jets head coach was ready for new beginnings and moved off Aaron Rodgers... So I am sure he was very happy to prove Glenn wrong.
Rodgers has had it in for Glenn since that final meeting with the Jets in which he flew across the country on his own pocket for a sitdown that lasted less than 15 minutes... So he got his lick back today.
