Love's Career Night Ends Pittsburgh Road Jinx

Jordan Love outdueled his former mentor Aaron Rodgers as the Green Bay Packers rallied for a 35-25 win in Pittsburgh, with Love throwing for 360 yards, three touchdowns and a streak of 20 consecutive completions to power a near-flawless second half. Tight end Tucker Kraft had seven catches for a career-high 143 yards and two scores, Christian Watson returned from a torn ACL to catch four passes for 85 yards, and Josh Jacobs scored a fourth-quarter rushing touchdown that gave Green Bay the lead for good. The victory snapped a decades-long Pittsburgh road jinx — Green Bay's first win there since 1970 — and pushed the Packers to 5-1-1 and atop the NFC North. Green Bay piled up over 450 yards of offense while Pittsburgh’s defense surrendered more than 450, and the Steelers fell to their second straight loss. Rodgers completed 24 of 36 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns but was limited in the second half; both quarterbacks showed mutual respect, exchanging messages before the game and embracing afterward.
