All eyes will be on Aaron Rodgersthis coming Sunday, as he and the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Green Bay Packers. Although it’s been two years since he parted ways with the Packers, there remains much drama about his exit from the team he suited up for 18 seasons.
Rodgers and the Steelers are coming off a 33-31 loss at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 7 “Thursday Night Football” game, and will look to bounce back against the NFC North-division leading Green Bay.

While speaking with reporters on Wednesday, the four-time Most Valuable Player touched on the subject of thetackle he got from teammate Broderick Jones after he threw a touchdown pass in Week 7’s meeting with the Bengals.

Against the Bengals, Rodgers threw for 249 passing yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions while completing 23 of his 34 throws.
