This week on “Sunday Night Football,” Aaron Rodgers<\/a> meets the only NFL team he has never faced — and never beaten.<\/p>\n

In his first game against the Green Bay Packers<\/a>, the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> quarterback brings 18 seasons of Lambeau Field history with him, including 475 touchdown passes, the most in Packers history and the third most by any signal-caller with one franchise.<\/p>\n

A win would make Rodgers the fifth quarterback to defeat all 32 current NFL teams, joining Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Drew Brees.<\/p>\n

But don’t consider it a revenge game — because Rodgers doesn’t.<\/p>\n

“I don’t have any animosity toward the organization,” he said Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jordan Love<\/a>, who served as Rodgers’ backup for three seasons in Green Bay, was also fond of the time he spent behind the future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

“I was real quiet in the quarterback room,” Love said, per Packers.com<\/a>. “I was trying to just sit back and watch him. I tried to stay in my lane, but A-Rod was great at trying to find ways to incorporate me into the room and give me little pointers.”<\/p>\n

It isn’t just the signal-callers who are expected to shape the matchup. Expect the pass rush to loom large in the first head-to-head meeting between T.J. Watt<\/a> and Micah Parsons<\/a>. Since Parsons entered the league in 2021, he ranks fourth in sacks and Watt is second.<\/p>\n

Another angle to watch: the uniforms. Yellow and gold are premier shades for both of these tradition-rich franchises, but the Packers are going in another direction. Pittsburgh is debuting 1933-inspired throwbacks, while Green Bay counters with its all-white “Winter Warning” combo, a look that’s 3-0 so far.<\/p>\n

Can Love and the Packers leave Pittsburgh with a win, or will Rodgers and the Steelers make a statement against his former team?<\/p>\n
