Sunday's Week 10 matchup could be the final matchup between Burrow and Rodgers. When asked about that fact on Wednesday, Burrow showed nothing but respect for the all-time great veteran QB.

Burrow leads the league with an impressive 74% completion percentage, throwing for 2,386 yards and a league-leading 23 touchdowns. Rodgers has completed 60.8% of his passes for 1,871 yards and 13 touchdowns.
