7 scores Preseason Week 1: Aaron Rodgers' Farewell Tour Continues in Pittsburgh
Read the full recap →The Green Bay Packers visit Acrisure Stadium to face Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, August 13. Rodgers, in his announced final NFL season, is expected to see more preseason snaps than a typical starter given the farewell storyline. Green Bay counters with new backup Tyrod Taylor, signed after Malik Willis left for Miami, alongside developmental arms Kyle McCord and Kyron Drones.
Rodgers could log real snaps in his last preseason
Unlike most veteran starters who sit out this early in the preseason, Rodgers' farewell-season narrative makes it plausible he plays a series or two, giving Pittsburgh a rare experience edge in a preseason game.
Green Bay's backup room is brand new
Taylor arrives fresh after Willis's departure, and this is an early live look at how he operates the offense alongside camp competitors McCord and Drones fighting for the No. 3 job.
Jordan Love expected to sit
With Love not in the plans for this game, the Packers' offensive identity on the field will be shaped almost entirely by Taylor and the younger arms behind him.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 17-23 (Packers vs Steelers), final was 9-28. Pittsburgh routed Green Bay 28-9, well beyond the projected 23-17 margin, but the model's lean toward the Steelers held up.
Packers Steelers Rodgers' potential snaps are the single biggest edge in this game
If Pittsburgh's future Hall of Famer plays even a series, his experience against a backup-heavy Packers defense should translate to points.
Taylor is walking into a new offense cold
A recently signed backup with limited practice reps in this scheme typically needs time to find rhythm, especially on the road.
Preseason variance still caps confidence
Once both quarterbacks come off the field, this becomes a rookie- and roster-bubble-driven game like any other preseason matchup.
This is a preseason exhibition. The projection leans on Rodgers' expected involvement rather than typical starter-sits-Week-2 logic, but confidence stays low given how unpredictable backup-heavy football is.
