The Green Bay Packers rallied for a 35-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Sunday Night Football,” overcoming a 16-7 halftime deficit with a dominant second half that produced 21 unanswered points and a defensive push that included three sacks and a turnover.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 29 of 37 passes for 360 yards and three touchdowns in the comeback, and tight end Tucker Kraft finished with 143 receiving yards and two TDs as Green Bay improved to 5-1-1.
Love’s night in Pittsburgh was his most efficient of the 2025 NFL season, lifting his season totals to 1,798 yards, 13 touchdowns, and two interceptions through seven games while posting a career-high 70.9% completion rate and a 112.8 passer rating for the year.
After the game, All-Pro edge-rusher Micah Parsons spoke highly of his young QB.
“He’s showed he’s the successor,” Parsons said. “He’s the up-and-coming. Like J-Love, talking about when I was coming here, I was like, ‘I know they’ve got a quarterback, I know I’ve got a quarterback.’ I’m just so proud of him, everything he’s been through, how he’s developed as a player, how he’s developed as a person, and he’s just playing some really good football right now.”

A 2020 first‑round pick (No. 26 overall), Love spent three seasons learning behind Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers before becoming the full‑time starter in 2023, and he hasn’t looked back since.
In his first year at the helm, Love threw for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns with just 11 interceptions, completing 64.2% of his passes with a 96.1 passer rating.
Parsons, meanwhile, was acquired in a blockbuster late‑August trade from the Dallas Cowboys and has already altered Green Bay’s defensive identity; across seven games in Packer green, he has 6.5 sacks, 17 total tackles, and multiple QB pressures.
Parsons signed a multiyear extension upon arrival and has already produced game‑changing pressure and splash plays that helped swing the second half in Pittsburgh, giving the Packers a top-tier pass rush to pair with Love’s ascending offense.
With the win, the Packers now sit firmly atop the NFC North and face a favorable late‑season stretch that begins with a home game against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 and a Monday-night return versus the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10.
