Joe Burrow is excited to face off against Aaron Rodgers twice this coming season. Burrow's last and only time playing against Rodgers was a loss in 2021 against the Packers, but now he gets two chances to try to beat the newest Steelers quarterback.

Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the team this past week.

"Yeah that'll be a fun two games," Burrow noted on Monday. "Obviously, I got a lot of respect for Aaron and like him as a person, so only played him one time, so it'll be nice to play him twice."

The future Pro Football Hall of Famer will be 42 years old on Dec. 2 after throwing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions this past season with the Jets. He figures to be the latest starter in Pittsburgh after Russell Wilson and Justin Fields led the team at different points last season.
