US EditionPackers Fans Torn Between Loyalty and Nostalgia as Aaron Rodgers to Face Green Bay
Aaron Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, faces his original team for the first time since his 2023 trade; the Packers hold a 4-1-1 record this season, sportsbooks say.
- On Sunday night, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers faces the Green Bay Packers for the first time after helping the Steelers beat the New York Jets in Week 1.
- The Packers' selection of Jordan Love prompted Rodgers' departure, and he played his last Lambeau game on Jan. 8, 2022, after 14 seasons as starter.
- The Packers haven't been dominant since Week 1, enduring a loss, a tie and a late rally to beat the Cardinals, while the Steelers have extra rest after losing to the Bengals on Oct. 16, 2025.
- After practice Wednesday, Rodgers said beating the Jets in Week 1 was "nice" but it didn't "come close to feeling how it's going to feel playing Green Bay," adding "It would feel different if I was going back to Green Bay."
- Green Bay is a 3-point favorite at BetMGM Sportsbook, reflecting the Packers' tougher challenge, while Micah Parsons, who registered three sacks last week, is expected to trouble Aaron Rodgers all night.
