Glenn and Rodgers are both highly competitive and not short on self-confidence, and perhaps, they were never destined to see eye to eye. But even after Rodgers produced a four-touchdown performance in his first game for the Steelers -- a 34-32 victory -- after he had been escorted off the field by Mike Tomlin and Cameron Heyward, after the Terrible Towel waving faithful had overwhelmed MetLife Stadium, Rodgers let his pique at Glenn and how his two-year experiment with the Jets had ended show through.
“There are probably people in the organization who didn’t think I could play anymore,” he said, a likely allusion to Glenn. “It was nice to show that I still can.”
And then, when asked if it was especially meaningful to have defeated the man who cut him loose, Rodgers delivered a dagger: “I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets.”
