Ever since the NFL released its 2025 schedule, a certain Week 8 matchup has been highlighted on every fan’s schedule. It will take place on Sunday Night Football, with the Pittsburgh Steelers facing the Green Bay Packers. The game, of course, marks Aaron Rodgers’ first contest versus his former employer, one he spent 18 years with.
Many people can relate to Rodgers leaving one job for another—unwillingly, by the way— and wanting to do their darndest to one-up their former employer. That’s certainly the case with Rodgers, but apparently only in terms of getting a win for Pittsburgh, as, according to the four-time MVP himself, he holds no ill will towards the Packers. Rodgers discussed why he doesn’t see his first meeting with the Packers as a “revenge game” despite the narrative surrounding this matchup.
