匹兹堡钢人队四分卫Aaron Rodgers表示，希望周四与绿湾包装工队的NFL预季赛能在绿湾举行，而非在匹兹堡进行。[1] Rodgers在绿湾效力了职业生涯前18个赛季，期间赢得4次MVP奖和1次超级碗冠军。[1] 这将是他自2023年离开包装工队后第二次对阵旧东家，但两次比赛都在钢人队主场进行。[1] 去年10月，钢人队在匹兹堡以35比25不敌包装工队，当时包装工队四分卫Jordan Love传达360码和3次达阵。[1]
Rodgers表示："我真的希望这场比赛在绿湾举行，不仅是为了再次回到Lambeau，还想去Chives吃晚餐。"[1]
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has voiced his preference for Thursday's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers to be played in Green Bay rather than Pittsburgh.[1] Rodgers spent the first 18 seasons of his professional career with the Packers, during which he won four MVP awards and one Super Bowl championship.[1]
This upcoming contest marks the second time Rodgers will face his former team since departing Green Bay in 2023.[1] The first meeting occurred last October when the Steelers lost to the Packers 35-25 in Pittsburgh, with Packers quarterback Jordan Love throwing for 360 yards and three touchdowns.[1] Reflecting on his desire to return to his former home, Rodgers stated: "I really wish this game was in Green Bay, not only to get back to Lambeau, but to grab dinner at Chives."[1] The Steelers' second preseason game will take place on August 21 against the New York Jets at home.[1]
