One of the most compelling matchups of the 2025 season will be underway in one hour as the Aaron Rodgers-led Pittsburgh Steelers host his former team in the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers has shrugged off the idea of a revenge game, but the football world aired their collective suspicions about how genuine that feeling really was. At the very least, he has a chance to make history by being one of five quarterbacks to beat every team in the league.
It won’t be an easy opponent as the Packers are one of the best teams in the NFC. Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs have that offense humming, and they are getting WR Christian Watson back from IR tonight. Pittsburgh is 4-2 coming off a devastating loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football while the Packers are 4-1-1 with a Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Rodgers is familiar with Matt LaFleur and Adam Stenavich, and has been helping prepare the Steelers’ defense for this game. But that goes both ways as LaFleur is familiar with both Rodgers and Arthur Smith, the latter from their time spent together with the Tennessee Titans. How both sides navigate that chess match will be important to the outcome of the game.
The Steelers don’t lose back-to-back games very often under Mike Tomlin, and especially not back-to-back losses on national television. A lot is on the line with the Steelers still looking for a decisive lead in the AFC North.
