They went to war together and now, they will be on the opposite sides.
Rodgers has just been signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, making their earlier announced Week 8 match up more exciting.

“It’ll be a great challenge for us,” LaFleur said.
“I’m sure he’ll be telling everybody all our signals, so we’ll probably have to be playing that mind game a little bit.”
Jordan Love vs Aaron Rodgers a must-watch, too
Rodgers previously played for the New York Jet but he never got the chance to play against the Packers.
The Week 8 match up will be his first chance for a revenge game. A-Rod hasn’t said anything about the upcoming match up but the guys in Lambeau or excited.

“Knowing that we’re going to face off, it’s going to be very special for him to come back and play the Packers,” Love said.
“It’s going to be a special game for him and definitely, like I said before, I want to get that jersey after the game and be able to swap.”
