"Jordan Love passed for 360 yards and three touchdowns and outplayed former teammate Aaron Rodgers while leading the Green Bay Packers to a 35-25 victory over the host Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Love, the understudy to Rodgers for three seasons at Green Bay, matched Brett Favre's 2007 franchise record of 20 straight completions. He was 29 of 37 overall in a near-flawless effort for the Packers (5-1-1)."
"Rodgers was 24-of-36 passing for 219 yards and two touchdowns while facing the Packers for the first time since his departure after the 2022 season. Rodgers, 41, played 18 seasons for the Packers, beginning as Favre's backup in 2005, before departing under less-than-friendly circumstances. Yet, leading up to this game, Rodgers expressed his appreciation for his Green Bay tenure and made it clear this matchup was not a revenge game."
"Green Bay scored 21 final-quarter points and moved ahead on the first play of the quarter when Jacobs scored on a 3-yard run around right end. Love followed with a two-point throw to Romeo Doubs to give the Packers a 22-19 lead. Green Bay added on when Love completed a short throw to Kraft, who turned it into a 24-yard touchdown to make it 29-19 with 10:57 left in the contest."
