Emmanuel Acho points out rare Super Bowl window for Aaron Rodgers with biggest career hurdle for Steelers QB out of the picture

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers ahead of the 2025 season. The four-time MVP was brought in to help Mike Tomlin's Super Bowl push and potentially end his career with the biggest honor in football.

Emmanuel Acho believes that Rodgers has a rare Super Bowl window in 2025.

"Aaron Rodgers has the best chance of his career to go to the Super Bowl, because he doesn't have to go through Tom Brady," said Acho on Speakeasy.

Rodgers and Brady are two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. The duo dominated the league for well over a decade and shared seven regular-season MVP awards.

Rodgers and Brady met four times, with the latter winning three of those games. The most significant was the NFC Championship game in 2021 between the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady inspired the Buccaneers to the win and went on to win his seventh Super Bowl in Super Bowl LV. It extended his record as the winningest player in Super Bowl history.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers are out to secure the AFC North title in Week 17

Aaron Rodgers will look to take advantage of a Tom Brady-less AFC as he aims for his second Super Bowl ring. However, he must first secure the AFC North title.

Rodgers and the Steelers will get the chance to do just that in Week 17 when they face off against the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers enter the game as significant favorites against an out-of-sorts Browns team.

The Cleveland Browns have lost eight of their last 10 games. The Steelers have won three consecutive games and are in the driving seat of the AFC North. Here's how to watch that game:
