Steelers' Aaron Rodgers has a 20-year connection to Deion Sanders before playing Browns and Shedeur

Aaron Rodgers has shared an NFL field with a Sanders before.

That was 20 years ago, when he played in relief of Brett Favre for the Green Bay Packers against the Baltimore Ravens, who Deion Sanders played for at the time.

Now on Sunday, Rodgers will take on the Cleveland Browns and Deion's son, the QB Shedeur Sanders.

That factoid was shared on X on Wednesday by Andrew Siciliano:

Rodgers may not want to revisit that 2005 Week 15 game, though. The Ravens won it, 48-3.

That's why Rodgers got so much action, because the Packers had no reason to keep Favre in the game.

Green Bay fell to 3-11 with that loss. Favre went 14-for-29 with two INTs before exiting, and Rodgers was 8-for-15 for 65 yards and another INT.

Deion did have an interception in that game, although it was against Favre.

Kyle Boller threw three TDs that day for the Ravens, with Todd Heap catching two. Jamal Lewis ran for 105 yards and a score.

This weekend, the Steelers will hope to look more like the Ravens of that day two decades ago.
