Connor Heyward finished off a long drive to end the first half by nudging across the goal line on a tush push to give the Steelers the lead. Rodgers added third-quarter touchdown throws of 19 yards to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and 28 yards to DK Metcalf — who shoved former Pittsburgh safety Minkah Fitzpatrick out of the way en route to the end zone.

Rodgers connected on 23 of 27 passes at frigid Acrisure Stadium.
