Jordan Love passed for 360 yards and three touchdowns and outplayed former teammate Aaron Rodgers while leading the Green Bay Packers to a 35-25 victory over the host Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Love, the understudy to Rodgers for three seasons at Green Bay, matched Brett Favre\u2019s 2007 franchise record of 20 straight completions. He was 29 of 37 overall in a near-flawless effort for the Packers (5-1-1).<\/p>\n

Rodgers, 41, played 18 seasons for the Packers, beginning as Favre\u2019s backup in 2005, before departing under less-than-friendly circumstances. Yet, leading up to this game, Rodgers expressed his appreciation for his Green Bay tenure and made it clear this matchup was not a \u201crevenge game\u201d.<\/p>\n
Steelers safety DeShon Elliott injured his left knee in the third quarter and was carted off to the locker room.<\/p>\n
Green Bay scored 21 final-quarter points and moved ahead on the first play of the quarter when Jacobs scored on a 3-yard run around right end. Love followed with a two-point throw to Romeo Doubs to give the Packers a 22-19 lead.<\/p>\n
Green Bay added on when Love completed a short throw to Kraft, who turned it into a 24-yard touchdown to make it 29-19 with 10:57 left in the contest.<\/p>\n
Brandon McManus tacked on field goals of 28 and 25 yards to boost the Packers\u2019 lead to 16 with 3:59 remaining.<\/p>\n
Rodgers tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Wilson with 2:07 left, but the ensuing two-point conversion pass failed.<\/p>\n
After Love took the final kneeldown, Rodgers jogged over to greet and hug him. Packers coach Matt LaFleur also exchanged a hug with Rodgers.<\/p>\n
Green Bay trailed by nine at halftime but pulled within 16-14 on Love\u2019s 8-yard touchdown pass to Williams. Love and Kraft teamed up on a 59-yard pass play during the drive, the play in which Elliott was injured and immediately grabbed for his knee.<\/p>\n
Boswell booted a 56-yard field goal with 5:34 left in the third quarter to increase Pittsburgh\u2019s lead to five.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Boswell kicked field goals of 56, 50 and 48 yards to help the Steelers take a 16-7 lead.<\/p>\n
The Packers led 7-3 after Love\u2019s 16-yard scoring pass to Kraft with 5:05 left in the opening quarter.<\/p>\n
Two second-quarter field goals by Boswell accounted for Pittsburgh\u2019s 9-7 edge before Rodgers hit Metcalf on a 2-yard touchdown pass with 34 seconds remaining in the half.<\/p>\n
