Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed his preference for Thursday's preseason game against the Packers to be played in Green Bay. Rodgers, who is starting his final NFL season, lamented that their matchup will take place in Pittsburgh instead. The game will mark Rodgers' second time facing his former team, with no indication yet of whether he will participate.
Having spent 18 seasons in Green Bay, Rodgers won four MVP awards and a Super Bowl. He wanted to have a final moment at Lambeau Field, where he played, and possibly enjoy dinner at Green Bay Country Club. Despite expressing disappointment, Rodgers acknowledged he would likely visit Packers' staff members if the game were in Green Bay.
In a previous preseason game against the Packers last October, Rodgers' Steelers lost 35-25. Green Bay's new quarterback, Jordan Love, who was drafted in the first round of 2020, threw for 360 yards and three touchdowns in that game.
