In May, Aaron Rodgers took yet another shot at the Chicago Bears, suggesting that new head coach Ben Johnson wouldn’t save the franchise that the four-time MVP famously said he owns.
“The best thing about Bears fans is every year, ‘This is our year. This is our year. We added this guy and that guy. We’ve got a new coach from Detroit … Oh man. Look out,'” Rodgers said an episode of the Ya Neva Know podcast. “Packers fans, we know that, right. And what does every coach that signs with the Bears say? ‘We’ve got to beat the Packers, right?’ Packers don’t give a (expletive).”
Aaron Rodgers is joining the Pittsburgh Steelers
Rodgers won’t be on the Green Bay Packers when he faces the Bears for the first time since 2023. Per Tom Pelissero of The NFL Network, Rodgers is set to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers before mandatory minicamp next week.
“Renegade A-Rod: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers informed the Steelers he’ll fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign before next week’s minicamp, sources tell The Insiders,” Pelissero posted on X. “Finally, a done deal: Rodgers, 41, will play his 21st NFL season in black and gold.”

A Chicago Bears rival returns in November

The Bears will host the Steelers in Week 12 (Nov. 23) at noon CST on CBS at Soldier Field.
Rodgers has a 24-5 record (.828 winning %) against Chicago and has won four games in a row against his former NFC North rival. The Bears last defeated Rodgers on Dec. 16, 2018. In 29 games, he’s thrown for 6,965 yards, 64 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.
Rodgers, 41, is no longer in his prime like he was in 2023 when he was coming off back-to-back league MVP awards. Bears fans are hoping November’s game is more reminiscent of what Chicago did to end Brett Favre’s career with the Minnesota Vikings in 2010.
