Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tomlin form unique Super Bowl partnership
Our Summary
The article discusses the notable partnership between Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who once faced off in Super Bowl XLV when Rodgers' Packers defeated Tomlin's Steelers. This collaboration marks only the second instance of a quarterback joining forces with a coach they defeated in the Super Bowl. The first occurrence was 32 years ago when Phil Simms played under coach Dan Reeves, years after Simms' Giants beat Reeves' Broncos. The article humorously notes that Chris Simms, co-host of PFT Live and son of Phil Simms, failed to recognize this connection despite receiving hints. A video is included for further context.
