Green Bay PackersvsPittsburgh Steelers
GB 9/PIT 28
Things to say
The Steelers beat the Packers 28-9 at home in Pittsburgh.
01
opener
Steelers took it 28-9, wasn't as close as the score even. Pittsburgh controlled the line of scrimmage all night. Green Bay just couldn't move the ball.
02
key player
Drew Allar was surgical. 10-of-13, 153 yards, two touchdowns through the air plus one on the ground. Efficiency like that, you don't need to throw it 40 times.
03
hot take
Nine points at home? Kyle McCord looked lost. Twelve completions for barely a hundred yards, that's not gonna cut it.
04
deep cut
Jamin Davis quietly wrecked the game, two sacks and eight tackles. And that Kaden Wetjen kid went for 79 yards on two catches, he was flying.
05
exit
Anyway, Steelers look legit early. Curious to see if they can keep it up next week.
The recap
Pittsburgh flipped the switch after halftime and turned a 9-7 nailbiter into a 28-9 laugher. Drew Allar was the whole show, going 10-of-13 for 153 and two scores while adding a rushing touchdown of his own, and Kaden Wetjen's 79 yards gave him a downfield target all night.
Green Bay hung around early on three Trey Smack field goals but simply couldn't move the ball once the game mattered, managing zero touchdowns and just 102 passing yards from Kyle McCord. The turning point was Allar's 3-yard keeper to make it 14-9, and the Steelers rattled off 21 straight to bury them.
