The chemistry between Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was unreal on Sunday. Wait, that doesn't sound right. Rodgers' future in Green Bay has been quite the hot topic since last season and the reigning three-time MVP's name hasn't been out of the rumor mill amid leading the Packers to a strong 3-1 start this season.
On Sunday, the two men met on the gridiron when Rodgers' Packers hosted Tomlin's squad. The connection between them was undeniable. The two shared a special moment that was caught on camera. The entire NFL football community has been overreacting to the interaction past couple of hours.
It's crazy what a simple smile can do (via Field Yates):

Get you a head coach that looks at his next QB the way Mike Tomlin just looked and smiled at Aaron Rodgers

Of course, all this speculation doesn't come without any sort of context. Ahead of Sunday's 27-17 win over the visiting Steelers, Rodgers had nothing but great things to say about the city of Pittsburgh and the franchise, as well as coach Tomlin himself.
“I have a ton of respect for Mike,” the Packers QB said (via CBS Sports). “I think he's a fantastic coach. I love the way that he leads. I love that way that he talks after the games. He always seems to keep things really even keel. Looks like he's somebody that players love playing for.”
Despite all the uncertainty with regard to Rodgers' tenure with the Packers, the 37-year-old continues his incredible start to the 2021 NFL season. He led his team to its third straight win. The Steelers, on the other hand, are clearly dying for some help. They slid to a 1-3 record and last place in the AFC North standings four weeks into the new campaign.
