Aaron Rodgers vs. the Green Bay Packers is finally happening. For nearly two decades, Rodgers was the Packers. He led them to more than 10 playoff appearances, four MVP awards, and a Super Bowl title before his departure set the franchise on a new path. Now, in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season, he faces his former team for the first time since leaving. The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) will host the Green Bay Packers (4-2-1) on Sunday Night Football at Acrisure Stadium. This should be the emotional centerpiece of the NFL weekend.
