Flashback to Glory: Why Aaron Rodgers’ old Green Bay Packers squad is the secret to a Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won six Super Bowls so far [1975, 1976, 1979, 1980, 2006, 2009].If they have the Green Bay Packers former squad assemble in Pittsburgh, they could win it again in 2027.For the past few years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have tried everything to even enter the playoffs, like signing Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in 2024 [now retired].Then bring in the second Super Bowl-hungry veteran signal-caller, Aaron Rodgers, in 2025; who took them to the 2025 AFC North division title. But then they lost their longtime head coach, Mike Tomlin.But they got new weapons and their second Super Bowl-hungry quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, for 2026.This time, they have a head coach on a missed season, Mike McCarthy. But a coach who knows Aaron Rodgers for the longest time spent together with the Green Bay Packers.Both of them won a Super Bowl in Green Bay. But this former team reunion does not stop here. It involves a third party. In the form of veteran tight end Robert Tonyan.The Big Lead’s Derek Antoine reported that Pittsburgh recently hosted Robert Tonyan for a tryout during mandatory minicamp.This could open the door for a potential reunion of the Green Bay Packers squad. Though they have not all won a Super Bowl together. Just the QB and the coach have.The tight end came into the picture in Dec. 2017. The coach left in Dec. 2018. And the QB left in April 2023. But all three have spent some time together. This gives them confidence for the upcoming quest.Something that could be the last battle for the 42-year-old signal caller Aaron Rodgers. Because he says it’s his last season…So, what are the odds of the Pittsburgh Steelers winning the 2027 Super Bowl? Let’s see what the predictors are saying.According to BVM Sports, the Steelers have a 1.2 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl. But they have a 38.5 percent chance of making the playoffs.They could be the third-best in the AFC North. Okay, that’s depressing. Because they won the title just last year!According to BetMGM, as of June 1, Pittsburgh ranks 23rd out of 32 teams in NFL Power Rankings by Super Bowl 2027 Odds.The first one is taken by the Los Angeles Rams, all thanks to their recent acquisition: NFL DPOY 2025 Myles Garrett.According to FOX Sports’ 2026-2027 Super Bowl Odds, the Super Bowl LXI winner could be, again, the Los Angeles Rams.And the Pittsburgh Steelers ranked 22nd out of 32 teams. Again, a far-fetched dream for Aaron Rodgers & Co.ESPN’s Football Power Index ranks Pittsburgh 22nd out of 32 teams. But there could be some hope… as rightly pointed out by Steelers Depot’s Josh Carney.This time last year, the Steelers had a 38 percent chance of making the playoffs and a 1.6 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl.The odds were under Mike Tomlin’s reign. Now with new head coach Mike McCarthy and new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham,and several interesting signings like wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., Rico Dowdle,then drafting offensive linemen Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker in the 2026 NFL Draft,and shifting Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick to the left side…Super Bowl could seem possible.Last year, their postseason run ended after they were defeated by the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round.This time, with a fresh squad and a probable Green Bay reunion, under the pressure of Aaron Rodgers’ last season, maybe they would get over the playoff hump…
