Aaron Rodgers has always had an unfavorable opinion of the Chicago Bears from his 18 seasons going up against them in the NFC North when he was playing for the Green Bay Packers. They were supposed to be a fierce division rival.
However, that rivalry has been a very one-sided one for the better part of two decades. Rodgers has never been shy about rubbing it in either. Now, Chicago feels like they are beginning to make some noise after a hyped offseason.
Could the Bears be contenders in the NFC North?
Aaron Rodgers Says Packers ‘Don’t Give a S***’
Rodgers has a very unique perspective on the Packers-Bears rivalry, holding a 24-5 career record against Chicago. The free agent quarterback made his feelings known during a recent media appearance where Rodgers is asked Q/A styled questions.
He mentions how the Bears seem to always feel excited about the team with a new regime and how they plan to beat the Green Bay Packers. However, the Packers don’t pay them any mind as the Bears seemingly are their little brothers.
“What does every coach that signs with the Bears say…? We gotta beat the Packers, right? The Packers don’t give a s***.”
No way: The legendary Aaron Rodgers ROASTS the Chicago Bears when told by a fan to retire:
“What does every coach that signs with the Bears say…? We gotta beat the Packers, right? The Packers don’t give a sh*t.”

Rodgers infamously trolled the Bears by once telling a Chicago fan that “I own you” after rushing for a game-sealing touchdown. He kind of does, though. In addition to holding a 24-5 record against Chicago, Rodgers has completed 67.29% of his passes for 6,965 yards with 64 passing touchdowns to 10 interceptions during those 29 games.
Hints at Landing Spot for the 2025 Season?
That was not the only time he referenced Chicago. While at a Mike Stud concert, Rodgers was interviewed in a Q/A style in the “Mia’s Brothers On The Hot Seat: Mike & Aaron Rodgers” video and answered a young girl’s question about ever playing for the Bears.
“No, but I believe there’s a team that might play in Chicago … for a road trip, I don’t know,” Rodgers said. “I love Chicago, though. Way more than they love me. It’s been a great relationship.”
While this is not confirmation that he is signed, the Pittsburgh Steelers are one team that plays a road game in Week 12 against the Bears in 2025. Could this be a hint that the four-time NFL MVP is getting closer to officially signing with the Steelers? Possibly.
The Steelers’ quarterback room is currently Mason Rudolph, rookie Will Howard, and Skylar Thompson, so the possible addition of Rodgers would certainly give the position a boost. The 41-year-old finished last season playing all 17 games after returning from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in the previous season. He completed 368 of 584 (63%) of his passes for 3,897 yards with 28 passing touchdowns against 11 interceptions.
