(Week 12) Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

(5-6)
(9-2)









VS
The tale of two teams... The Packers struggle to find themselves without their Dark Magician Aaron Rodgers, while the Steelers dominate the AFC with a hybrid offense and a rock solid defense. These forces clashed in a Super Bowl 45 rematch Sunday night, the Packers desperately trying to keep their playoff hopes alive against the potential AFC Champions.

GAME RECAP: Steelers 31 Packers 28
The Steelers have nothing to be proud of. Roethlisberger? 2 interceptions against a mediocre defense, at best. Bell? Stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey. Oh, and the guy who won the game for you, Chris Boswell? He missed an extra point after the first TD in the game! The Steelers played down to their competition here, which spells trouble come playoff time. We shouldn't put everything on the Steelers, however. Brett Hundley channeled Aaron Rodgers with three big passing TDs and several crunch time first downs, finding the trademark Packer receiving core every time he needed to. Congrats, Steelers, you barely beat a Packer team led by a second stringer. Have fun against New England in the playoffs!
