Aaron Rodgers will face the Packers for the first time in his career when the Steelers (4-2) host Green Bay (4-1-1) on Sunday Night Football on NBC and Peacock in Week 8.
Rodgers, who spent the first 18 years of his career in Green Bay (2005-2022), was traded to the Jets prior to the 2023 season and signed with Pittsburgh this past June after two years in New York. Rodgers got the Steelers off to a 4-1 start before losing at Cincinnati on TNF in Week 7. Despite the loss, the Steelers are still in first place in the AFC North and are the only team in the division with a winning record entering Week 8.
The Packers are 4-1-1 and are one of just two teams with just one loss this season (6-1 Colts). With Jordan Love at QB, the Packers have scored 27+ points in five of their first six games (all but their 13-10 loss at Cleveland in Week 3). Love has been spreading the ball around the offense, while Micah Parsons is leading the defense (Parsons had a career-high three sacks in Sunday’s win at Arizona).
Fun Fact: In the 2010 season, Rodgers led Green Bay to a win over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV (Rodgers was named Super Bowl
MVP). Neither of these teams have been back to the Super Bowl since.
