'SNF' takeaways: Packers' Jordan Love outplays Aaron Rodgers in comeback win

On the flip side, Rodgers was 24-of-36 for 219 yards and two TDs. The second of those scores — a 21-yard throw to wide receiver Roman Wilson — came with just over two minutes remaining as Pittsburgh trailed 35-19. It was a struggle all night, though, with an average of only 5.2 yards per pass.

That does not even take into account the three sacks from Green Bay's defense, which made it difficult for Pittsburgh's struggling offensive line to protect Rodgers. 

It was a highly anticipated matchup as Rodgers looked to defeat the Packers for the first time in his career. In the end, it was Love with the upper hand against his former mentor after a phenomenal showing.

Tale of two halves for Pittsburgh

It was not a perfect first half by any means, but with the help of three field goals from kicker Chris Boswell and Rodgers' first career TD pass against the Packers, Pittsburgh held a 16-7 lead going into the break and seemed to be in control following a second missed field goal of the half from Packers K Brandon McManus.

That quickly changed in the second half as Pittsburgh was outscored 28-9. Aside from a fourth Boswell field goal and a late TD with 2:07 to play, the Steelers could get nothing to go their way, punting three times and fumbling two plays into their fifth possession of the half.

The inability to move the ball offensively put the defense in a vulnerable position and made for a miserable second half as Green Bay completely took over down the stretch.

Tucker Kraft goes off for career-best performance

The third-year tight end entered Week 8 as Green Bay's leading receiver, so his impact has been felt all season. However, he completely took over on Sunday night with seven receptions for a career-high 143 yards and two TDs. 

It was his fifth game with a receiving TD this season. As impressive as his two TDs were, his ability to accumulate yards after the catch was what stood out the most. According to Next Gen Stats, Kraft gained 36 yards after the catch over expected on his 59-yard reception in the third quarter.

Kraft's performance just so happened to occur on National Tight Ends Day as well, so it seems fitting that his best outing so far came on Sunday night.

Bizarre moment for the Steelers

Thinking the Steelers were in the hurry-up, center Zach Frazier touched the ball and lined up for the snap. By rule, he could not join the huddle once he did that, forcing him to listen to the play call from the line of scrimmage.

Rodgers confirmed the play with him and still got the ball snapped in time before completing the pass. It was certainly an unusual situation and one the Steelers made the most of in the end.
