GREEN BAY – The Steelers had scored 13 straight points to close the first half with a nine-point lead, and after a missed field goal as the half expired failed to break Pittsburgh's run, the Packers needed an answer.
They got one on their first possession of the second half, going 90 yards in nine plays for a touchdown, the first of what turned out to be five straight scoring drives. That makes it as good a choice as any for the Chevy Drive of the Week from Sunday night's 35-25 victory over the Steelers.
Trailing 16-7 and starting on their own 10-yard line after a penalty on a punt return, the Packers weren't getting very far at first. RB Josh Jacobs was stuffed for no gain, and QB Jordan Love's 5-yard pass to TE Luke Musgrave set up third-and-5.
As they'd been doing most of the game on third down, the Steelers blitzed. Love got hit as he tried to loft a ball deep down the right side for TE Tucker Kraft, who adjusted to get position on his defender, make the catch of the floating football, and take off downfield.
Kraft gained 59 yards in all on what could be considered the game-changing play, but a few snaps later, Love would need him in the clutch again. Three straight Jacobs runs gained nine yards to make it fourth-and-1 in the red zone – Head Coach Matt LaFleur said after the game he ran the ball on third-and-2 having already decided to go for it if Jacobs didn't convert – and Kraft's number was called.
He leaked out of a bunch formation to the right for a 7-yard completion and a new set of downs. Two plays later, Love flipped a swing pass in the flat to rookie WR Savion Williams, who got a great block from RB Chris Brooks to get to the pylon for his first NFL touchdown.
The Packers were right back in the game, at 16-14, and never looked back.
