Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy, a Pittsburgh native and a key figure in Packers history, will be attending the Sunday Night Football game between the Packers and Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. McCarthy, who helped develop quarterback Aaron Rodgers and led the Packers to a Super Bowl victory over the Steelers in 2011, expressed excitement about the matchup, calling it a 'hell of a game' and expecting an 'incredible setting.' He described the game as a 'pick 'em,' emphasizing its significance as a rare face-off between Rodgers, now with the Steelers, and his former team. McCarthy's presence adds a poetic layer to the game, which is likely to be the last major showdown between Rodgers and the Packers, with Rodgers playing at an elite level at age 41. The game is also notable for McCarthy's long-standing ties to Pittsburgh and Green Bay, where he resides today. The Packers, currently 4-1-1, are slight favorites over the Steelers, who are 4-2 and coming off a close loss. McCarthy, who coached the Packers from 2006-2018, achieved a franchise-record 125 wins and a Super Bowl title during his tenure. The matchup is seen as a cinematic football event, with Rodgers and the Packers' history intertwined with McCarthy, making his attendance a highlight of the game.
