What to Watch For
Packers Outlook
Jordan Love has been impressive in his second full year as starter, showing poise and accuracy with 10 TDs to just 2 INTs. He’s developing chemistry with Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs, while running back Josh Jacobs continues to anchor the ground game.
However, Green Bay’s O-line will face one of its biggest challenges yet against T.J. Watt and the Steelers’ aggressive pass rush.
Steelers Outlook
Aaron Rodgers is on a mission — and he’s one win away from making NFL history. If the Steelers beat Green Bay, Rodgers will have officially defeated every team in the league since the merger. His connection with George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth has reignited Pittsburgh’s offense.
Head coach Mike Tomlin has his team playing classic Steelers football: physical defense, disciplined execution, and clutch playmaking in the fourth quarter.
