Aaron Rodgers and Steelers to wear 1933-style throwback uniform vs. Packers in Week 8
The Steelers unveiled the throwback uniform, inspired by the team's 1933 uniforms, on Monday. The look features yellow helmets, yellow uniforms with black striping, beige pants and yellow socks. The helmets include the Steelers logo on the side, and the uniforms have a City of Pittsburgh crest on the left shoulder.
The Packers face off with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers on Oct. 26 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh for Week 8's "Sunday Night Football" showdown.
Per the Steelers, the throwbacks "define grit, resilience and the soul of the Steel City football."
From Steelers president Art Rooney II: "We're excited to unveil our new throwback uniforms which not only pay tribute to the origins of the Steelers franchise but also to the deep connection we have to our hometown of Pittsburgh. It's especially fitting that we'll debut these uniforms on Sunday night, October 26 when we play the Green Bay Packers – another franchise in the league with a long and rich history."
On one hand, the throwback uniforms will add some old-time spice to the first ever matchup between Rodgers and the Packers. On the other hand, the throwbacks will rob viewers of a near-perfect traditional uniform matchup between the Steelers and Packers.
The Packers are expected to reveal a new throwback helmet and/or uniform for the 2025 regular season early on in training camp.

Packers report a record $432.6 million in revenue sharing
Packers president Mark Murphy presented his final annual financial report Wednesday, reporting the team's national revenue sharing from the previous fiscal year was a record $432.6 million. The NFL's revenue sharing 18 years ago — when Murphy gave his first report — was $138 million per team, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports. The revelation by the league's only publicly owned team means the NFL shared a record $13.8 billion in revenue from the previous fiscal year. "I continue to be amazed by the popularity of the NFL and by the league office's ability to generate revenue," Murphy said, via Demovsky. "It's impressive." National revenue makes up about 60 percent of the Packers' total revenue, Murphy said. The Packers reported an $83.7 million operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 31. That is a $23.6 million increase from the previous year's $60.1 million operating profit, a rise related to one more home game in 2024 than the eight in 2023. "It was a successful year for the organization," Murphy said. "The NFL's popularity and success continues to set the stage for our club to do well, which puts us in position to continue to invest in the team and the stadium." During Murphy's tenure, the Packers have invested $675 million into Lambeau Field and the team's facilities, including the unveiling of a renovated locker room this week.

Quay Walker comes off of Packers' PUP list
Linebacker Quay Walker's stay on the Packers' physically unable to perform list turned out to be shorter than expected. General Manager Brian Gutekunst said on Wednesday morning that he thought Walker was about a week away from practicing as he continues to recover from an offseason ankle cleanup surgery, but he's set to be on the field sooner than that. The NFL's Wednesday transaction report shows that Walker passed his physical. Walker is in the final year of his rookie deal after the Packers opted not to exercise their option on his contract for the 2025 season. There have been talks about a contract extension, however, and good health should help Walker's bid for a new deal. Defensive back Micah Robinson also passed his physical on Wednesday.

Mark Murphy leaving Packers with incredible financial stability
Mark Murphy will retire as president of the Green Bay Packers later this week after delivering both a Super Bowl title and incredible financial stability -- in both the short- and long-term -- to the franchise across 17 years of service. The Packers, the league's only publicly owned team, released their annual financial report for the last fiscal year on Wednesday. Thanks to a ninth regular season game played in Green Bay during the 2024 season and another increase in revenue sharing across the league, the Packers reported an operating profit of $83.7 million, up almost 40 percent over last year. Per the Packers, the team has invested $675 million in upgrades to Lambeau Field and facilities and countless millions more in developing the Titletown area around the stadium in the last 20 years, and the franchise now has a reserve fund of $579 million, up over $40 million from last year. Under Murphy, the Packers have kept Lambeau Field both iconic and modern, vastly improved working areas for players and staff and steadily developed a rainy day fund that will keep the team financially stable in the ever-expanding NFL for years to come. It is a testament to Murphy's leadership that the Packers were able to remain consistently competitive on the field and financially stable off it while operating out of the smallest city in the NFL world. And considering the improvements made to Lambeau Field, the development of areas around it and the investment in players and personnel, the Packers will go into the Ed Policy era at president in extraordinarily good shape as an NFL franchise. In his final monthly post at Murphy hoped he was leaving the Packers in better shape than when he started. The financials leave no doubt.
