On Sunday night at Acrisure Stadium, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will face his old team, the Green Bay Packers, in the third game in NFL history in which a quarterback who spent at least 15 years with one team faced that team as the opposing starting quarterback.
Rodgers was the younger quarterback the first time it happened, when Brett Favre, who had played 16 seasons with the Packers, was playing for the Vikings and faced the Packers. They had traded Favre away in order to make Rodgers their new starter.
Favre and the Vikings beat Rodgers and the visiting Packers, 30-23, to make Favre the first NFL quarterback to defeat all of the league's 32 teams.
Tom Brady was the second 15-plus-year vet to play against his old team. Rodgers will be the third. And he, too, can beat his 32nd
