Quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ prolific tenure with the Green Bay Packers didn’t end amicably.
After the Packers took QB Jordan Love with the 26th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, Rodgers’ relationship with the team quickly turned hostile. When differences became irreconcilable, Green Bay shipped him to the New York Jets in April 2023, which didn’t work out for the 41-year-old.
Rodgers (now with the Pittsburgh Steelers) faces Green Bay at home in Week 8 on “Sunday Night Football” on NBC. It’s the first time he has faced the Packers in his 21-year career. That sets the stage for a potential revenge game for the four-time MVP, even if he says it isn’t.
Rodgers reveals whether he views matchup against Packers as “revenge game”
“I don’t have any animosity toward the organization,” Rodgers said Wednesday, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. “Obviously, I wish that things had been better in our last year there, but I have a great relationship with a lot of people still in the organization. This is not a revenge game for me. I’m just excited to see some of those guys and be on ‘Sunday Night Football’ again.”
