Packers vs. Steelers results: Aaron Rodgers comes up short against former team as Jordan Love handles Pittsburgh | Sporting News


JUMP TO:

Aaron Rodgers’ quest to beat every NFL franchise is on hold. He only needed to beat the Green Bay Packers, the franchise he spent the first 18 years of his career with. 

Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers matched up with Green Bay for Week 8’s “Sunday Night Football.” It was all Steelers early as they went into halftime up 16-7. The Packers made the right halftime adjustments, though, and outscored the Steelers 28-9 in the second half to pick up the 35-25 win. Not only did Rodgers not become the fifth quarterback in NFL history to register a win against ever NFL franchise, but he looked rushed by pressure all night, even when Green Bay was sending only three pass rushers. 

The story for the Packers was threefold. First, Green Bay made the right defensive adjustments at halftime. The defense allowed only nine points in the second half, and the late fourth quarter touchdown was the result of an entire drive of lax, prevent defense. Second, backup running back Emmanuel Wilson had two fewer carries than Josh Jacobs, but had 28 more yards. Jacobs punched in a touchdown early, but Wilson helped to open up the Green Bay run game. 

Third, and likely the biggest, tight end Tucker Kraft had yet another breakout game. He brought in seven of his nine targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns. To make it even better, it was on National Tight Ends Day. 

The Steelers move to 4-3 and take on the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts next week. The Packers are 5-1-1 and will host the Carolina Panthers in Week 9.

FIELD GOAL — Steelers 19, Packers 14

10:28 p.m. — Warren picked up four yards to begin the drive as Freiermuth returns to the field. Rodgers then hit Metcalf for a 24-yard gain. The veteran quarterback then hit Warren for 11 yards. Rodgers looked like he got sacked, and the ball came out of his hands and it looked like a fumble. The replay showed that Rodgers’ veteran savvy had him throwing the ball to his running back’s feet while getting tackled. It was ruled an incomplete pass.

On second and 10, Rodgers quickly hit Austin, but he bobbled it, and when he finally came down with it, he had no yards. On third and 10, Rodgers takes the first timeout of the half. The quarterback missed Metcalf, but Boswell saved the drive nailing a 56-yard kick. 

TOUCHDOWN — Steelers 16, Packers 14

10:20 p.m. — Jacobs starts the drive with a run for no gain. Love then hit Luke Musgrave for five yards. He then hit Kraft for a 59-yard gain. The tight end likely got away with offensive pass interference, but the play stands. A Pittsburgh defender was hurt on the play, and so there was a brief timeout.

10:05 p.m. — Rodgers begins the second half with an incomplete pass. He then hit Freiermuth for a two-yard gain, but his tight end was hurt on the play. Rodgers then missed Roman Wilson deep, and it was a quick three-and-out to start the third quarter.

9:45 p.m. — Love hit Jacobs for eight yards and then Watson for a gain of 19. Green Bay takes its second timeout with 18 seconds to go in the first half.

Jacobs only gained two yards, but TJ Watt was called for a face mask penalty, which put the Packers on the Steelers’ 36-yard line. Love hit Heath over the middle for a gain of nine, and Green Bay takes its final timeout with two seconds left. 

McManus missed from 57 yards earlier, but this attempt was from 44 yards. He missed wide left. 

TOUCHDOWN — Steelers 16, Packers 7

9:39 p.m. — Warren starts the drive off running for nine yards. It looked like the running back had gotten the first down with his first carry, but was the recipient of a really bad spot. He took matters into his own hands and then picked up 17 yards on second down. Calvin Austin III brought in his first reception of the game for seven yards. Gainwell then picked up 14 yards to get on the Green Bay side of the field at the two-minute warning. 

On the other side of the break, Gainwell picked up one yard and then Rodgers missed Austin. The quarterback was pressured and had to just throw the ball up, Austin tried to come back for it but couldn’t because of the defender so drew a defensive pass interference call. 

Pittsburgh gets a fresh set of downs on the 15-yard line. Warren picks up three on first down. Rodgers rolls out and then hits Metcalf for a 10-yard gain. He goes out of bounds with 37 seconds left in the half. Rodgers then hits Metcalf on a quick slant for the score.

9:27 p.m. — The Packers’ drive begins with Love hitting John FitzPatrick for a four-yard gain. Jacobs then picks up three on the ground, before Love misses Kraft on third down. It was a very quick three-and-out, and Pittsburgh will get the ball back with 4:13 left in the first half. 

FIELD GOAL — Steelers 9, Packers 7

9:20 p.m. — Rodgers found Ben Skowronek for a 12-yard gain. Warren picked up two yards to get to midfield. Rodgers then threw an incompletion, but the play was wiped out by defensive holding, giving the Steelers a fresh set of downs.

Warren ran straight up the middle for nine yards, and then picked up six. The Steelers went to the well a few too many times and the running back got dropped for a loss of five. Rodgers then hit Gainwell for a gain of one and tight end Jonnu Smith for a gain of nine. Before a field goal attempt, Cam Heyward was whistled for a false start, pushing Boswell’s field goal back to a 48-yard attempt. He still hit it. 

9:12 p.m. — On first down, Love tried to throw deep to Doubs, but it fell incomplete. A Pittsburgh defender was injured during the play. 

After a brief break, Jacobs ran up the middle for one yard. On third down, Love was hit while he was throwing. The referees reviewed the hit for a potential penalty, but it ended up being on Green Bay for illegal hands to the face. Green Bay punts with about 11 minutes to go in the first half. 

FIELD GOAL — Packers 7, Steelers 6

9:03 p.m. — Rodgers found Metcalf for a five-yard gain. Kenneth Gainwell then moved the chains with a rush of nine yards.

Second Quarter

8:55 p.m. — Green Bay starts the drive off with some ball security issues. Keisean Nixon muffed the punt, but Green Bay was able to recover it. Backup running back Emmanuel Wilson ran the ball for an eight-yard gain, but then fumbled the ball out of bounds. Wilson picked up two yards on second down to move the chains, and then Love hit Kraft for a huge 33-yard gain to get into Pittsburgh territory. 

Savion Williams had a one-yard rush, and then Love hit Matthew Golden for a one-yard loss to bring up third and nine. This brought up the end of the first quarter.  

8:48 p.m. — Mike Tomlin has the record for consecutive games without scoring more than seven points in the first quarter. The Steelers have three when they take over, with a chance to end the streak. 

Warren picked up two on first down, but then there was an illegal shift on second down. After the penalty, Rodgers missed Calvin Austin III, and then his third down pass to Pat Freiermuth only went for five when the Steelers needed 13. 

The streak remains alive, for now, as the Steelers punt. 

TOUCHDOWN — Packers 7, Steelers 3

8:41 p.m. — Jacobs starts the drive with a three-yard gain before quarterback Jordan Love nailed Doubs for a 24-yard pickup. Jacobs added five yards before Doubs had another reception, this time for 6. Love then hit Malik Heath for a 13-yard gain to get into the redzone. 

Love then hit Tucker Kraft for a 16-yard touchdown on National Tight Ends Day. 

FIELD GOAL — Steelers 3, Packers 0

8:33 p.m. — Pittsburgh starts its drive with a three-yard gain by Jaylen Warren. Rodgers completes his first pass of the night to offensive lineman Spencer Anderson, who reported as eligible. The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback then aired it out to Roman Wilson for a massive 45-yard gain on third down. 

Warren picks up five before DK Metcalf got called for an offensive pass interference penalty, erasing his first reception of the night. Rodgers hit Warren for no gain and then got sacked for a five-yard loss. Steelers kicker Chris Boswell nailed a 56-yard attempt for the first points of the night. 

8:27 p.m. — Green Bay starts with the ball. Running back Josh Jacobs should get plenty of work against the Pittsburgh run defense, or lack thereof. He picks up four on his first carry, and Christian Watson gets five on second down. Watson is playing in his first game of the season after being activated off of IR.

The drive ends after a Romeo Doubs incompletion, and Rodgers will get his first crack at his former team’s defense. 

First Quarter

8:20 p.m. — We are about to get underway. The Steelers won the toss and defer. The Packers’ offense will take the field first. 

8:05 p.m. — The Packers will counter the Steelers’ yellow top/yellow helmet combos by breaking out their all-white “winter warning” jerseys on the road. 

7:50 p.m. — The Steelers are wearing controversial jerseys for the “Sunday Night Football” matchup. They are an homage to the 1933 iteration of the team, but are very divisive among 2025 fans. 

7:15 p.m. — One thing to watch for Sunday night will be the condition of the field. Pittsburgh last played at home in Week 6 and kicker Chris Boswell was shown slipping on the field during a field goal attempt because of how bad the conditions were. The Steelers had the field re-sodded that night. 

The University of Pittsburgh played on the field on Saturday, ahead of the Packers-Steelers game. This isn’t unheard of, but the field doesn’t look pristine on Sunday night. 

6:55 p.m. — Inactives have been announced.
