Sunday Night Football, Week 7: Jets-Steelers is a weird Rodgers-Wilson rematch

After a handful of impressive matchups across the NFL this afternoon, the league’s Sunday schedule comes to a close, as always, with Sunday Night Football. Tonight, the prime time matchup puts a pair of AFC teams against one another in a quarterback matchup that should be somewhat familiar to NFL fans, even if the players are in different uniforms than what fans had become accustomed to.

Aaron Rodgers vs. Russell Wilson became a bit of a rivalry in the last decade when the two quarterbacks played for Green Bay and Seattle. It all started with the Fail Mary — which somehow took place 12 years ago now and in Wilson’s third NFL start — and carried through to multiple playoff matchups between the two players.
