After skipping out on the preseason action, Steelers fans should be glued to their screens whenever Rodgers takes a snap in his debut game with Pittsburgh — in what is arguably the perfect revenge game against the New York Jets.

Selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Jones may finally silence the critics in his third season with Pittsburgh — proving himself deserving of his draft status in his first game since switching back to left tackle.
TE Pat Freiermuth

Despite Steelers tight ends Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith stealing the hype over the past several months, Freiermuth’s sky-high potential has flown under the radar. A strong outing against the Jets could help set the tone for what many expect to be a breakout season for the fifth-year Steeler.

Many have speculated Wilson is due for a massive Year 2 jump — but the time for talk is over. The much-anticipated Wilson–Rodgers connection could give the Jets’ defense fits, offering Steelers fans an early glimpse of what’s to come this season.
