Aaron Rodgers will face a first on Sunday Night Football against Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Pittsburgh Steelers at Sofi Stadium in Inglewood on Sunday Night Football. The matchup will be the fourth time in Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ career he has faced the Chargers.

Rodgers has a 2-1 record against the Chargers, his last win coming against the then San Diego Chargers in 2015 when Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers threw for over 500 yards in a losing effort.

His last matchup against the Chargers came in 2019 when the Chargers took down the Green Bay Packers at the Chargers’ temporary home of Stubhub Center.

Herbert and Rodgers face each other for the first time

The Chargers hosting Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers will be a first at Sofi Stadium for Rodgers but it will also mark the first time Rodgers will face off against Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.

Rodgers is averaging 211.5 yards per game so far in 2025 and his splits between home and away games are almost identical. Will the lights and turf at Sofi Stadium make a difference for Rodgers this Sunday night?
