Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has started against 31 of the 32 NFL teams at Lambeau Field in his decorated career. He’ll make it 32 out of 32 when the Pittsburgh Steelers arrive in Green Bay on Sunday.
According to the team’s weekly dope sheet, the Steelers are the only team Rodgers hasn’t started against at home in his NFL career.
The Packers play each AFC team every four years on a rotating schedule of home and away. In 2013, or the last time the Steelers were in Green Bay to play the Packers, Rodgers missed the game due to a collarbone injury. In 2005, Rodgers was a rookie backup behind Brett Favre and didn’t play.
Barring something unforeseen this week, Rodgers will start for the first time in regular season game against the Steelers at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.
Now 17 seasons in, Rodgers has started 95 total games at Lambeau Field in his career. The Packers are 76-18-1 in those games.
Rodgers also missed the Packers’ trip to Pittsburgh in 2017 due to a collarbone injury. He hasn’t faced the Steelers since beating Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV.
Rodgers isn’t completely without experience facing the Steelers at home. He started and threw a touchdown pass on his only series during a home preseason game against the Steelers in 2018.
Overall, Rodgers has enjoyed playing the Steelers. He has at least 300 passing yards, three touchdown passes and a passer rating of over 100.0 in both of his career starts against Pittsburgh, including the Super Bowl.
