Aaron Rodgers isn’t looking for ‘revenge’ when the Steelers face the Packers, just a victory

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers knew this game might be coming five years ago.Maybe it’s why he appears to be at peace with what will be the very jarring visual of the four-time MVP standing on one side of the line of scrimmage and the team he long defined being on the other when Pittsburgh (4-2) hosts Green Bay (4-1-1) on Sunday night.

Asked this week if his first-ever meeting with the Packers was about revenge, Rodgers simply shook his head.

“What do I got to be avenging here?” Rodgers said this week, 2 1/2 years after his remarkably successful run with Green Bay ended with a trade to the New York Jets so the Packers could hand the keys to the franchise to Jordan Love. “They made me a ton of money. I grew up there, spent some of the best years of my life there. I’ve got nothing but love for the organization.”
