The Green Bay Packers will hit the road in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers for “Sunday Night Football.”

This game marks the first time that veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers will face the Packers since the organization traded him to the New York Jets in the 2023 offseason.

Green Bay enters this game with a 4-1-1 record. The lone loss of the season was a shocking upset to the Cleveland Browns, and Green Bay followed that up with a 40-40 tie against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Since the Packers’ Week 5 bye, they have beaten the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals in consecutive games.

Pittsburgh will head into this matchup coming off a loss. The Steelers went on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday in Week 7 but couldn’t stop Joe Flacco. Rodgers had a great game, but Flacco was better, winning 33-31 over Pittsburgh. The Steelers are 4-2 but remain atop the AFC North heading into Week 8.

First Quarter

FIELD GOAL — Steelers 3, Packers 0

8:33 p.m. — Pittsburgh starts its drive with a three-yard gain by Jaylen Warren. Rodgers completes his first pass of the night to offensive lineman Spencer Anderson, who reported as eligible. The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback then aired it out to Roman Wilson for a massive 45-yard gain on third down. 

Roman Wilson takes the top off the defense!

Warren picks up five before DK Metcalf got called for an offensive pass interference penalty, erasing his first reception of the night. Rodgers hit Warren for no gain and then got sacked for a five-yard loss. Steelers kicker Chris Boswell nailed a 56-yard attempt for the first points of the night. 

8:27 p.m. — Green Bay starts with the ball. Running back Josh Jacobs should get plenty of work against the Pittsburgh run defense, or lack thereof. He picks up four on his first carry, and Christian Watson gets five on second down. Watson is playing in his first game of the season after being activated off of IR.

The drive ends after a Romeo Doubs incompletion, and Rodgers will get his first crack at his former team’s defense.

7:50 p.m. — The Steelers are wearing controversial jerseys for the “Sunday Night Football” matchup. They are an homage to the 1933 iteration of the team, but are very divisive among 2025 fans.

7:15 p.m. — One thing to watch for Sunday night will be the condition of the field. Pittsburgh last played at home in Week 6 and kicker Chris Boswell was shown slipping on the field during a field goal attempt because of how bad the conditions were. The Steelers had the field re-sodded that night. 

The University of Pittsburgh played on the field on Saturday, ahead of the Packers-Steelers game. This isn’t unheard of, but the field doesn’t look pristine on Sunday night. 

Field doesn’t look quite as great from a birdseye view in the press box. Looks like there’s some dry patches in the sod. https://t.co/250otio67A pic.twitter.com/RRAHLr8MUL
