The Pittsburgh Steelers have a somewhat winnable matchup ahead of them.
The Green Bay Packers are no longer the powerhouse they used to be, which is often what happens when you go from one Hall of Famer at quarterback to any other player.
Jordan Love has struggled mightily in his first year as a starter, and he has a tough challenge ahead of him with the Steelers’ stout defense.

The Steelers’ offense will still need to do its job and put up points on the scoreboard, but their stellar defense will give them a big chance to beat a sluggish team with a struggling young quarterback.
