Aaron Rodgers and his younger brother Jordan look like they are finally back on the same team.

The Steelers quarterback posted a photo to Instagram on Friday with his arm draped around Jordan. The two were all smiles at Acrisure Stadium.

Jordan was at the stadium for work. He was there covering college football as an analyst.

A proud big brother

In his caption Aaron said it was "great to see little bro" at work. He added that he is "really proud of how hard he's worked to get to where he is now."

A rift that went public in 2016

The sweet moment stands out given how long the brothers were on the outs. For close to a decade they barely spoke.

Their split first drew attention in 2016. That year Jordan said on "The Bachelorette" that he and Aaron were not close.

Mending fences across the family

Aaron has spent this year repairing other family ties too. He has reconnected with his parents Ed and Darla as well as his older brother Luke.

In April he turned up beside his parents at a California high school's Hall of Fame event. That outing hinted the family had quietly started to heal.

In September Aaron said he had made peace with Jordan as well. He opened up about their hard talks while appearing on the podcast hosted by Steelers teammate Cam Heyward.

He has also given his wife Brittani credit for helping bring him back together with his family.
