Steelers' Aaron Rodgers wishes Thursday's preseason game with Packers could take place in Green Bay
- Aaron Rodgers expressed regret that the preseason game against the Packers is not being held in Green Bay.
- He spent 18 seasons with the Packers, winning four MVP awards and a Super Bowl.
- Rodgers mentioned he wanted to have one last moment in Green Bay, including dining at Chives and golfing.
- This will be the second time he faces the Packers since leaving the team in 2023, both games being in Pittsburgh.
- Rodgers noted he would have liked to visit familiar places and people in Green Bay if the game were there.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has one regret about starting his final NFL season with an exhibition game against the team that drafted him. He would have preferred Thursday’s matchup with the Packers take place in Green Bay rather than Pittsburgh.
Rodgers wanted to have one final moment in the place where he spent his first 18 seasons and won four MVP awards and a Super Bowl. “I was really hoping this one was going to be in Green Bay, not just to get back at Lambeau one more time, but to head out to Chives for a dinner and maybe head out to Green Bay Country Club for a quick nine or something,” Rodgers said Wednesday in a Zoom session with Packers reporters.
This will be the second time Rodgers has faced his former team since leaving the Packers in 2023, though there’s no indication yet on whether he will play Thursday. Both games were in Pittsburgh, so Rodgers will head into retirement after this season having never played against the Packers at Lambeau Field.
“Yeah, I was definitely bummed out that we weren’t in Lambeau for this one,” Rodgers said.
钢人队的亚伦·罗杰斯希望周四与包装工的季前赛能在绿湾进行
匹兹堡钢人队的四分卫亚伦·罗杰斯对以季前赛开始他的最后一个NFL赛季表示遗憾，认为与他被选中的球队包装工的比赛未在绿湾举行。他更希望周四的比赛在绿湾进行，而不是匹兹堡。
罗杰斯希望能在他度过的第一个18个赛季的地方，享受最后一次的经历，那里他赢得了四次MVP奖和一次超级碗。“我真的希望这场比赛能在绿湾举行，不仅是为了再回到兰博球场，还想去Chives餐厅吃顿饭，或者去绿湾乡村俱乐部打个高尔夫，”罗杰斯在与包装工记者的Zoom会议中说道。
这是罗杰斯自2023年离开包装工以来第二次面对老东家，尽管目前尚不清楚他是否会在周四出场。两场比赛都在匹兹堡进行，因此罗杰斯将在本赛季结束后退休，未曾在兰博球场对阵包装工。
“是的，我确实对这场比赛没有在兰博球场感到失望，”罗杰斯表示。
