The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets are squaring off in the opening week of the National Football League season.

Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. and here's a few things to watch for as the Steelers and Jets go head-to-head this afternoon at MetLife Stadium.

Aaron Rodgers back at MetLife Stadium to face his former team

Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn't taken any game snaps with the Steelers since signing with the team as a free agent this offseason. His first snaps with the team will come today at the stadium he called home for two seasons as a member of the New York Jets.

Earlier this week, Rodgers said he was looking forward to the trip to MetLife Stadium , but only because it is marking the start of what could be his final season in the NFL.
