The four-time MVP revealed that he tied the knot with Brittani in June. However, no one met Rodgers' better half during his tenure with the New York Jets which is when Rodgers first met and fell in love with his now wife.

Brittani remains a mystifying figure in Pittsburgh, as well. The famous couple hasn't even been photographed together.

"I'm thinking about this week, but obviously I'm 42 years old and I'm on a one-year deal," he told reporters. "Whenever the season ends, I'll be a free agent. So that'll give me a lot of options if I still want to play. I mean, not a lot of options, but there'll be options, I would think, maybe one or two, if I decide I still want to play."

He called his experience in Pittsburgh "even better than i was hoping for," but in order to confirm a return, he needs to speak with Brittani.

"I don't really want to get too deep into it, you know? Obviously, I'll talk to my wife and then, you know, hopefully that's a decision down the line, but I'm not really going to talk about anything."

Right now, Rodgers' focus is on defeating the Ravens.
