The average purchase price for the Steelers-Packers game in Week 10 is $454. It’s currently the sixth-most expensive game in 2025.

Assuming Aaron Rodgers eventually signs with Pittsburgh, the storylines for the Steelers-Packers showdown on Sunday Night Football will be endless. It will be the first time that the four-time league MVP faces his former team.

Many are beginning to question if Rodgers is ever going to make a decision on his football future. But Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is confident in what he believes Rodgers will decide.

“I’m pretty sure [the Steelers] know what they’re doing,” LaFleur said on the Up & Adams show. “I’m sure they’re confident in what they’re doing, and I would fully expect him to be a Pittsburgh Steeler.”

LaFleur is quite familiar with Rodgers. He coached the four-time NFL MVP for four years (2019-22) in Green Bay.

However, that doesn’t mean the Steelers have reached out to LaFleur for any advice. In fact, he revealed head coach Mike Tomlin and the rest of Pittsburgh’s brass hasn’t said a word to him.

“No, not once. Nothing,” LaFleur said. “Neither has Arthur [Smith], their OC. I haven’t heard from either of those guys, in regards to him.”

Pittsburgh has reportedly remained in constant contact with Rodgers, so it seems that it is only a matter of time until he officially signs.

If that is how things play out, it will set up what would be a much-anticipated revenge game against the Packers in Week 8 on Sunday Night Football.

Team president Art Rooney II revealed that the Steelers will wear new alternate uniforms and a new alternate helmet against the Packers in Week 8.

“We are going to have a new throwback uniform this year, and with a new helmet to go with it,” Rooney said in his statement released on the Steelers’ official website

“We’re planning to wear our new throwbacks for the Packers game on Sunday night, Oct. 26. It’ll be fun to wear our throwbacks against one of the older franchises in the league – that just seems to be appropriate. We’ll be doing our Color Rush uniforms late in the year. I think we’re going to do it for the Monday night game on Dec. 15 against the Miami Dolphins.”
