The Green Bay Packers are hoping to keep their season alive as they traveled to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Brett Hundley makes his fifth start in replacement of Aaron Rodgers, who is out with a broken collarbone. The Steelers are currently on top of the AFC and are up three games in their division. Who would come out on top in this interconference on Sunday night football? Let's get into the game! The Steelers would start with the ball and on the first play, Ben Roethlisberger would go to Antonio Brown for 20 yards to the Green Bay 39 yard line. Next play, Le'Veon Bell would go for ten yards. They faced a third and 1 and Roethlisberger would find Bell for two yards to the Packer 18 yard line. They would then face a third and 6 and Roethlisberger would go to Jesse James for 10 to the Packers 4 yard line. They would face a fourth and goal at the one yard line and Roethlisberger would shovel pass to Xavier Grimble for the touchdown. The Steelers would miss the extra point and it would be 6-0 Pittsburgh. The Packers would take over and Jamaal Williams would go for six yards on second and 4. The Packers would face a third and 5 and the Steelers would get a sack but an illegal use of hands would give the Packers a first down. On second and 11, Brett Hundley would find Randall Cobb for a 39 yard touchdown to give the Packers a 7-6 lead. The Steelers would face an early third and 5 and Roethlisberger would find James for 17. They would face a third and 8 and Roethlisberger would get picked off by Demarius Randall and looked like it would be returned for a touchdown and after further review, the ruling on the field is that he was down by contact. On third and 9, Hundley would find Williams and he would go 54 yards for the touchdown for a 14-6 lead. After the Steelers and Packers traded punts, the Steelers would go on a five play drive that ended with Ben Roethlisberger going to Martavis Bryant for a 17 yard touchdown and Roethlisberger would go to Brown for the two point conversion to tie the game at 14. The Packers and Steelers would trade punts and the Packers would waste the clock as we headed to halftime tied at 14. The Packers would start with the ball and go six plays ending with Hundley going to Adams for a 55 yard score to give them a 21-14 lead. The Steelers' first drive would end in an interception by Martinez and the Packers would get it at the Steelers 45 yard line. The Packers would go seven plays and would try a 57 yard field goal by Mason Crosby and would miss. The Steelers would capitalize with a six play drive that would end with a one yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Brown. The Packers would go three and out on their next drive. The Steelers drive would end with a fumble recovered by the Packers. The Packers would be unable to capitalize as they would go three and out once again. The Steelers would go seven plays that resulted in Roethlisberger going to Brown for a 33 yard touchdown pass to give the Steelers a 28-21 lead. The Packers would get the ball back and go 12 plays ending in a four yard touchdown run by Jamaal Williams to tie the game at 28, highlighted by Hundley finding Adams for eight yards for a first and goal. The Steelers would get the ball before the two-minute warning. Roethlisberger would find Brown for 13 after the two-minute warning on second and 4. Roethlisberger would find Bell for 10 to the Packers 46 yard line and would go out of bounds to stop the clock. The Steelers would face a third and 10 at the Packers 46 yard line and the pass would fall incomplete and they would punt with 1:33 left, plenty of time for the Packers but only have one timeout remaining. The Packers would take over at their own 18 yard line with 1:20 left. First play, Hundley would get sacked by TJ Watt. After a three yard pass to Jamaal Williams and would go out of bounds and they would go for a run play and the Steelers would call a timeout and would get the ball back. The Packers would be forced to punt and the Steelers would get the ball back with 17 seconds left and they would have two timeouts remaining and get the ball at their own 30 yard line. Roethlisberger would go to Brown and the pass would be called complete on the field and upon review and the ruling was confirmed on the field. It was a 25 yard pass to the Green Bay 47 yard line with 13 seconds left. Roethlisberger would find Brown once again for 14 yards to the Packers 33 yard line and after a Bell pass, Chris Boswell would attempt a 53 yard field goal and the kick is good and the Steelers would take the victory over the Green Bay Packers 31-28.
Thoughts on the game: What a game is all I have to say! The Steelers at the end of the game were just incredible especially Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown's first catch of the final drive. The Packers certainly looked better than they did last week. After getting shutout by the Ravens, they played great on the road and just came up short against the top team in the AFC North.
