Week 8 of Sunday Night Football features the Green Bay Packers (4-1-1) taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) as Aaron Rodgers faces the franchise that made him a household name. Both teams come in with sole possession of first place in their respective conferences, although with different perspectives coming into this game.
Green Bay enters Week 8 as winners of two in a row and having not suffered a loss since Week 3 against Cleveland. In their last three games, the Packers are 2-0-1, including wins over the Cardinals and Bengals, and a tie with the Cowboys in Week 4. Last week, Green Bay went on the road to Arizona and came away with a 27-23 victory. It wasn't a huge offensive game for the Packers, but Josh Jacobs' two rushing touchdowns and one in the passing game from Jordan Love were just enough.
Pittsburgh dropped a heartbreaker to division rival Cincinnati last week, but got a huge offensive outburst they hope to carry over into Week 8. In the loss to the Bengals, Rodgers passed for 249 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Running back Jalen Warren also contributed 127 yards rushing. The Steelers' defense will need a bounce-back performance after allowing 470 total yards to the Bengals.

Mon, October 27, 2025 at 3:21 AM GMT+1Jason OwensTucker Kraft piles on, sets up Packers TD
An ideal start to the second half for Green Bay. The Packers forced a Pittsburgh 3-and-out to start the third quarter, then drove 90 yards for a Savion Williams touchdown on a screen pass form Jordan Love.
But Tucker Kraft set up the score. The big-play tight end put Green Bay in scoring position with a 59-yard catch-and-rumble on third down. He then converted with a catch on fourth-and-1 to keep the drive alive in the red zone. He's up to five catches for 117 yards and a touchdown on the night.
Pittsburgh's lead is cut to 16-14.

Officials missed a clear offside penalty on the Packers, and the Steelers have punted after a failed third-down conversion.
Aaron Rodgers thought he had a free play and looked deep downfield on third-and-8 for an incomplete pass. But officials missed the penalty, and the incompletion set up the Pittsburgh punt. A correctly called penalty wouldn't have resulted in first down, but it would have given the Steelers another shot on third-and-3.
Rodgers, understandably, was not pleased.

Mon, October 27, 2025 at 2:48 AM GMT+1Kari AndersonPackers close out the half with a missed field goal
After a long gain, the Packers move into field goal range thanks to a facemask penalty on T.J. Watt, who does not look pleased about the call. That, and another pass from Jordan Love, leaves Green Bay kicker Brandon McManus with a 44-yard field goal attempt with two seconds remaining the half. But McManus' kick goes wide right, and the Packers will head into the locker room still down 16-7.

After a big 21-yard pass interference call put the Steelers into the red zone, Aaron Rodgers gets a big pass to DK Metcalf in the end zone for Pittsburgh's first touchdown of the game.

D.K Metcalf couldn't quite bring in a deep shot there on third down, but Chris Boswell capped the quick drive off with a 50-yard field goal.
The Packers' lead is down to just a single point now with 12:18 left in the half.

The Packers got the ball back after a quick three-and-out, and then they go right back to Tucker Kraft. He's taking full advantage of National Tight End Day.

Brandon McManus missed a 57-yard field goal attempt a few plays later though. He left it just a few yards short.

Jordan Love went a perfect 4-of-4 on that drive and hit Tucker Kraft for a 16-yard touchdown.

Micah Parsons just brought Aaron Rodgers down in the backfield on third down for a big sack. Chris Boswell easily sank a 56-yard field goal, though, so the Steelers are on the board first.
It's 3-0, Pittsburgh.

Well that looked way too easy. Aaron Rodgers just found a wide-open Roman Wilson for a wild 45-yard gain.

Mon, October 27, 2025 at 12:30 AM GMT+1Kate MagdziukThe Packers' 2025 season in a nutshell
Haven't caught up with the Packers in a minute? Here's what they've been up to ...
After making a splash play to acquire star edge rusher Micah Parsons this offseason, Green Bay enters Week 8 with a 4-1-1 record led by quarterback Jordan Love.
Love is having a solid start to the 2025 season, averaging 8.2 yards per attempt with 1,438 passing yards, 10 TD and 2 INT, ranked seventh among quarterbacks with a 108.1 passer rating (min. 100 dropbacks).
His receiving corps has been a bit of a revolving door, though, as first-round rookie WR Matthew Golden still looks to gain his footing early on. Five different players have 20+ targets on the season, with Romeo Doubs leading the team at 36, reeling in 24 of those for 306 yards and four touchdowns. TE Tucker Kraft leads the team in receiving yards, matching Doubs' four receiving touchdowns.
The Packers defense has been surging, meanwhile, ranked top five in yards (1,731) and points (125) allowed and top 10 in pressure rate (23.7%) and sacks (18).
