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.

Justin Fields for Aaron Rodgers is just what the Jets needed
The sheer breadth and magnitude of the New York Jets' systemic failures in 2024 were nothing short of staggering, if not also somewhat inevitable. From Aaron Rodgers rolling on the head coach publicly mere weeks into the season to Robert Saleh's midseason firing to the perpetually-disgruntled quarterback's eventual clashing with owner Woody Johnson and his children, this was a particularly dire lost season for a franchise that specializes in them. Of all the self-inflicted wounds, the one that stung the most was among the most easily preventable.

Packers president: Mark Murphy era ends, Ed Policy era begins in Green Bay
Roughly 13 months after being elected the new president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, Ed Policy assumed the role from Mark Murphy at Friday's Annual Meeting of Shareholders inside Lambeau Field. Murphy, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 in July, spoke for the final time as Packers president before handing over responsibilities to Policy, who has been preparing to take over for the last year under Murphy. The changing of the guard is now official, and a new era begins in Green Bay. Policy joined the Packers organization in 2012. He spent six years as vice president and general counsel before being promoted to chief operating officer and general counsel in 2018. Policy, the son of former NFL executive Carmen Policy, was previously an executive consultant for the NFL and a nine-year run as an executive for the Arena Football League, including three years as commissioner. In Green Bay, Policy has served as the organization's legal leader and helped lead the development of Titletown. Across 17 seasons under Murphy's leadership, the Packers won Super Bowl XLV, eight NFC North titles and made the postseason 13 times. The team also invested millions and millions of dollars to upgrade Lambeau Field, improve facilities and work areas for players and coaches and develop Titletown areas around the stadium, and Murphy was instrumental in getting the 2025 NFL draft to Green Bay. Murphy is also leaving the Packers with a corporate reserve fund of almost $600 million. The Packers Board of Directors elected Policy as Murphy's successor on June 24, 2024. He officially assumed the role on July 25, 2025.

Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 43: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 43 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 43 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 43 wearer: N/A There isn't a Steeler wearing No. 43 on the 2025 roster — and there hasn't been one since the NFL's greatest safety retired in 2015. Last five Steelers to wear No. 43: Best No. 43 in Steelers history: S Troy Polamalu There's no debating this selection — Troy Polamalu is the best Steeler to ever wear No. 43. Drafted with the 16th overall pick in the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft, Polamalu terrorized opposing offenses for 12 seasons — snagging 32 interceptions in 158 games for the Black and Gold. He helped lead Pittsburgh to two Super Bowl titles, was named the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year, earned eight Pro Bowl nominations, four First-Team All-Pro selections, and two Second-Team All-Pro selections. Additionally, Polamalu was named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, the Pittsburgh Steelers All-Time Team, and the Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Honor. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020 — leaving behind an untouchable legacy that will live on as not only the best Steeler to ever wear No. 43, but one of the NFL's greatest defenders of all time.
