""We're playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, who happen to have Aaron Rodgers," LaFleur said Monday. "It's as simple as that.""
""That is for you guys to talk about," LaFleur said. "Granted, I mean, we've got a lot of love and respect for Aaron, what he's done here. I mean, he's a Hall of Famer. And I know like our past together, we had a lot of great moments. But this game is not about that. It's about going to Pittsburgh. 'Sunday Night Football.' Our guys will be jacked up. Their guys will be jacked up. It's about the Green Bay Packers versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that's for you guys to talk about all those other storylines.""
Matt LaFleur attempts to deflect attention from Aaron Rodgers ahead of Green Bay's Sunday night game at Pittsburgh. Rodgers spent 18 seasons with the Packers and led them to their most recent Super Bowl before being traded prior to 2023 and later signing with the Steelers. The matchup is Rodgers' first game against Green Bay and his first meeting with Jordan Love, who succeeded him as quarterback. LaFleur emphasized respect for Rodgers while insisting the focus remains on the Packers versus the Steelers and the upcoming game itself. Fourteen current Packers were teammates with Rodgers in 2022.
