Aaron Rodgers welcomed a cameraperson to his old neighborhood Sunday with a one-finger salute.
Ahead of the Steelers’ Week 12 road clash in Chicago, Rodgers — who dominated the Bears across his 18 seasons with the Packers — flipped off a camera as he did a lap around Soldier Field before kickoff.
Rodgers, the winner of 24 regular-season games against Chicago while in a Green Bay uniform, was ultimately ruled out of Sunday’s contest amid a wrist injury, with longtime Steelers backup Mason Rudolph getting the start.

Pittsburgh would go on to lose 31-28 and fall to 6-5 on the season.
Rodgers, 41, had been itching to go one more round against the Bears after implying in June that this could be his final NFL season.
The four-time league MVP had exited the Steelers’ Week 11 victory over the Bengals with a wrist injury, putting his status for Sunday in jeopardy.
Coach Mike Tomlin later confirmed the injury would not require surgery.
“Really, it’s just about bracing and securing it for his comfort and safety. And then, it’s about how functional he is,” Tomlin said Tuesday.
Currently second in the AFC North behind the Ravens, who have bounced back following a woeful 1-5 start, the Steelers need to muster up some late-season magic if they want a crack at the playoffs.

Sunday’s loss dropped Pittsburgh to the eighth seed, with a postseason probability mark of 28 percent, according to NFL.com.
The race for the AFC North crown will likely come down to the wire, as the first Ravens-Steelers clash of the season is set for Dec. 7 in Baltimore, followed by the regular-season finale in Pittsburgh on Jan. 4.
Rodgers, currently in his 21st season, has thrown 19 touchdowns against seven interceptions through 10 games.
The Steelers host the Bills next Sunday.
