Marquez Valdes-Scantling joins Aaron Rodgers in combo Steelers, Packers NFL history image

A little bit of a Green Bay Packers reunion took place on Monday Night Football.

Aaron Rodgers found Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins.

Rodgers and MVS had been teammates with the Packers. The Steelers signed Valdes-Scantling to the active roster before Monday's game, and Rodgers put him to quick use.

In the process, Valdes-Scantling made a wild bit of NFL history.

"Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the second player to catch a pass from Aaron Rodgers on both the Packers and Steelers."

The first player? Rodgers.

That's right. He caught three of his own passes (off deflections) in Green Bay, and he has one reception of his own pass this season in Pittsburgh.

MVS is a bit more of a receiving threat than Rodgers, of course. He's always been known for his deep speed.

Since leaving Green Bay, Valdes-Scantling has entered into a bit of a journeyman role. But now, he got the chance to come back and join Rodgers.

Rodgers has a history of preferring "his guys" as his wide receivers, and MVS certainly counts as one of them.

On Monday, Rodgers rewarded Valdes-Scantling for coming to town and got him in the end zone.
