Aaron Rodgers Emphatically Called Out Doubters in Postgame Comments of Week 1 Win

When Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers in June, there were a number of questions surrounding his fit with the team, including in the Arthur Smith-led offense. Though Rodgers expressed excitement to work with Smith throughout the summer, it was still unknown how he would fit within Smith's tight-end, run-heavy offense over the offenses he's accustomed to leading.

Through the first week of the season, the answer is pretty well. Aaron Rodgers put on a vintage performance in his first game in the Smith offense, completing 22-of-30 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Rodgers and the Steelers went toe-to-toe with the impressive Justin Fields-led Jets offense on Sunday to earn the 34-32 win while silencing doubters in the process.
