Perhaps the longest saga of the NFL offseason has finally come to an end, as Aaron Rodgers finally decided to sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After two seasons with the New York Jets that included injuries and losing, Rodgers is hoping to prove he can still be a winning quarterback in Pittsburgh.

The Los Angeles Chargers will now get the opportunity to face Rodgers and his new team in Week 10, as they're set for a primetime matchup. It'll be a Sunday Night Football game at home in SoFi Stadium, so Rodgers and the Steelers will be making a trip to the west coast to face Herbert and the Bolts.

Interestingly enough, Rodgers has only faced the Chargers three times in his illustrious career, with a 2-1 record against the Bolts. All of his games against the Bolts came during his time in Green Bay.

The first matchup was in 2011, a 45-38 win in Week 8. The next came four years later in Week 6 of the 2015 season, a 27-20 win for the Packers. The Chargers' lone win against Rodgers was in 2019, a dominating 26-11 victory in Week 9.

The Chargers haven't faced a Rodgers-led team in six seasons. A lot has changed since, so the Bolts have an opportunity to even their all-time record against the future Hall of Famer.
