Overview

• Fields told reporters there is "no storyline" for him against Pittsburgh and Aaron Rodgers, emphasizing a focus on football over narratives.
• He appeared in 10 games with six starts for the Steelers in 2024 before signing with the Jets in the offseason.
• Pittsburgh did not re-sign Fields and later added Rodgers, who started all 17 regular-season games for New York last season.
• The opener is set for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET and, per ESPN research, is the first season-opening game between starting quarterbacks who each changed the teams they started for the prior year.
• Fields said he considered returning to Pittsburgh, holds no ill will toward the Steelers, and chose New York in part for a fresh start under Aaron Glenn.
