That’s the backdrop as Chicago takes a low-risk swing on a still-young pass rusher with tools.</p><p>The Bears are signing former Miami Hurricanes defensive end Jonathan Garvin to the practice squad, per Tom Pelissero. The 6-foot-4, 257-pound lineman was drafted No. 242 overall by the Packers in 2020 and has 12.5 sacks as a pro, giving Chicago <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1983183137963422064" rel="noopener">another developmental option on the edge</a> as it preps for Week 9 at Cincinnati.</p><p>For a team that has leaned on roster churn to find situational help, Garvin’s length and get-off fit the profile of a gameday elevation candidate if he settles quickly on special teams and sub packages.</p><p>Chicago’s timing makes sense. With the Bengals ahead and Trey Hendrickson wrecking games on the other sideline, any fresh body who can set an edge, squeeze wide zone, and win a third-and-long rep has value.</p><p>Garvin’s Miami pedigree and frame give the staff angles to explore: standing him up as an overhang in odd looks, kicking him inside on obvious pass downs, or pairing him with a speed rusher to stress protections.</p><p>Discipline is the parallel emphasis. After a penalty-marred stumble in Baltimore, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/chicago-bears/bears-news-ben-johnson-calls-ownership-locker-room-address-penalty-issues">head coach Ben Johnson called for more accountability</a> in the locker room, noting that while coaches will support, players need to “take the bull by the horns” to clean it up.</p><p>With a winnable road date in Cincinnati, Chicago’s path is clear: fewer flags, better field position, and a steadier four-man rush. If Garvin helps tilt a drive or two, the practice-squad flier will look prescient.</p><p>Garvin’s arc: Miami standout to late pick in Green Bay, now a Chicago project, reflects the Bears’ current roster strategy: keep swinging at traits and see who sticks. If the 6-4, 257-pounder converts flashes into finish, he’ll give the rotation exactly what it needs in November.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That’s a feat <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-matches-brett-favre-beating-aaron-rodgers">not seen in Green Bay since Brett Favre</a> in 2007. For his part, Kraft was a monster, hauling in seven passes for 143 yards and two scores. The defense settled in after a rough first half. They forced multiple three-and-outs, and Green Bay improved to 5-1-1 with a performance that looked every bit championship-caliber.</p><p>If this is the Packers’ ceiling, the rest of the conference might be in trouble. Here we’ll try to look at how the Packers showed off their ceiling, and it should scare the rest of the NFC.</p><h2><b>Jordan Love outduels his former mentor</b></h2><p>What makes Love’s breakout so satisfying is the context. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-praise-micah-parsons-tucker-kraft-aaron-rodgers">On the same field as Rodgers</a>, Love delivered the kind of mature, poised, and explosive performance that cements him as the face of the franchise.</p><p>Love was magnificent. Recall that at one point, he completed 20 consecutive passes. That’s a number Packers fans hadn’t seen in nearly two decades. His 33-yard strike to Christian Watson in tight coverage might be one of the throws of the year. It was a perfect blend of confidence and precision.</p><p>Even more impressive? He wasn’t sacked once, despite facing a physical Steelers front led by TJ Watt.</p><p>Green Bay couldn’t get the ground game going, managing just 78 rushing yards. However, Love didn’t need it. He carried the offense on his shoulders. Now, it truly feels like the torch from Rodgers had been officially passed.</p><p>It’s not hyperbole to suggest Love entered the MVP conversation with this performance. If he maintains this level of accuracy and confidence, the Packers’ offensive ceiling is as high as anyone’s in football.</p><h2><b>Tucker Kraft dominates on National Tight End Day</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-tucker-kraft-creates-new-club-stunning-start-steelers">Sunday was Tucker Kraft’s day</a>. On National Tight End Day, the Packers’ emerging star tight end reminded everyone why he’s quickly becoming one of the most versatile weapons in the league.</p><p>Kraft was everywhere. He averaged a ridiculous 20.4 yards per catch. His yards-after-catch ability turned simple completions into game-breaking plays. When Love needed a spark, he looked to Kraft, and every time, the tight end delivered.</p><p>That said, Kraft’s night wasn’t just about receiving. He blocked effectively, picked up blitzes, and added the kind of edge that every elite offense needs. Whether it’s a third-down conversion, a red-zone play, or a crucial run block, Kraft does whatever’s asked.</p><h2><b>Wide receivers step up in style</b></h2><p>The Packers’ receiving corps has taken its share of criticism. Against Pittsburgh, though, they answered loudly. Christian Watson, returning from a long ACL recovery, was electric. In his first game action of 2025, Watson caught all four of his targets for 85 yards. His ability to stretch defenses changes everything for this offense.</p><p>Savion Williams also had a night to remember. He scored his first career touchdown on an 8-yard reception and added a 1-yard rush earlier in the game. Head coach Matt LaFleur continues to use Williams as a gadget player. It is working, too. He’s fast, physical, and dynamic in open space. He gives the Packers a versatile weapon who can impact special teams and offense alike.</p><p>For the first time all season, Green Bay’s passing game looked balanced, confident, and multifaceted.</p><h2><b>Defense turns it on when it mattered</b></h2><p>If the first half was shaky, the second half was vintage Packers defense.</p><p>After allowing 16 points in the opening two quarters, Green Bay’s defense clamped down. The Steelers were held to just 9 points the rest of the way. They went three-and-out on three straight drives as the Packers seized control. The front seven began collapsing the pocket more consistently. They forced Aaron Rodgers into quick throws and eventually a key fumble that shifted the game’s momentum.</p><p>Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper stood out. He flashed elite speed and instinct. Cooper chased down plays, broke up passes, and forced a critical fumble that set up one of Love’s touchdown drives. Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons also combined for three sacks. It was the kind of defensive turnaround that championship teams make when adversity strikes.</p><h2><b>The NFC’s new problem</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Green-Bay-Packers-tight-end-Tucker-Kraft-85-celebrates-a-touchdown-during-a-game-against-the-Cincinnati-Bengals.jpg"><figcaption>© Sarah Kloepping/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The message from Lambeau to the rest of the conference is simple: the Packers are for real.</p><p>With Jordan Love ascending, Tucker Kraft emerging as a star, and a defense that can adapt under pressure, Green Bay’s ceiling looks every bit as high as San Francisco or Philadelphia’s.</p><p>They’re young. They’re confident. And they’re only getting better. If this is what the Packers look like in October, the rest of the NFC should be very afraid of what’s coming in December.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Packers showed off their ceiling in win over Steelers, and it should scare the rest of the NFC

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers visited Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/steelers-news-aaron-rodgers-shouted-out-packers-fans-home-loss">marked the first time that Rodgers faced the Packers since being traded from the team in 2022.</a></p><p>During his time in Green Bay, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-shares-texts-aaron-rodgers">Love got the chance to learn under Rodgers</a>. Now, Love put all that he learned to good use, helping lead the Packers to a 35-25 win over the Steelers. After the game, the two quarterbacks shared some love and met midfield to congratulate each other. Love also made it clear that he wanted Rodgers’ Steelers jersey.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jordan Love wanted Aaron Rodgers jersey real bad <a href="https://t.co/jT1OhZ0lMq">pic.twitter.com/jT1OhZ0lMq</a></p><p>— World Sports Network (@WSNsports) <a href="https://twitter.com/WSNsports/status/1982879272357527826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>For nearly two decades, Aaron Rodgers was the face of the Packers. He won multiple MVPs while in Green Bay and helped lead them to a Super Bowl win. He was one of the best quarterbacks of his generation. However, as he started to get older, his status on the team started to be questioned. In preparation for Rodgers’ retirement or departure, the Packers drafted Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 draft.</p><p>There was some drama at first, as Love’s arrival seemed to directly challenge Rodgers’ presence on the team. However, Rodgers remained the starting quarterback of the Packers, continuing to lead them to success in 2020 and 2021. Love, meanwhile, learned under Rodgers and learning Matt LaFleur’s system behind the scenes.</p><p>When Rodgers eventually left the Packers in 2022, Love took over as the starting quarterback of the Packers. While he had a rough start to his first full season as the QB1, Love grew into one of the best young quarterbacks in the league. As for Rodgers, he had a murky stint in New York marred by an Achilles tear in Year 1 before joining the Steelers this season. Rodgers is having a renaissance of sorts in Pittsburgh after a subpar 2024 campaign.</p><p>In their first matchup against each other, Love got the best of Rodgers. Love finished the game with an absurd 29 completions on 37 attempts for 360 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers, on the other hand, had a modest 219 yards, completing 24 of his 36 attempts and throwing two touchdowns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, a player who had a standout game was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-watch-micah-parsons-destroy-3-blockers-before-sacking-aaron-rodgers">Packers star Micah Parsons, getting immense pressure on Rodgers throughout the game</a>, though he gave the quarterback his flowers after the win.</p><p>As Parsons sacked Rodgers once, the team’s defensive line would do enough to rattle Rodgers and Pittsburgh, as they only converted on one third-down situation in 10 tries. Still, Parsons would say that Rodgers <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46741987/aaron-rodgers-steelers-fall-short-qb-reunion-packers" rel="noopener">is a “GOAT” next to former quarterback Tom Brady</a>, according to ESPN.</p><p>“That’s why he’s the GOAT,” Parsons said of Rodgers. “He’s one of five quarterbacks in the league where you say he’s one of the greatest of all time. He’s on that GOAT list next to [Tom] Brady, under Brady, and there’s only a select few guys that you’re going to put right there with him. That’s why he is who he is, and that’s why he’s still able to play at a high level.”</p><p>Despite Rodgers being disappointed with the loss and how he played, he noted that it was a good feeling to see people within the Green Bay organization after the past several seasons.</p><p>“Good to see a lot of people that I grew up with in the league,” Rodgers said. “I was out there spending time with some of those guys, and I enjoyed that.”</p><h2><b>The Packers’ main goal was to make Aaron Rodgers uncomfortable </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Micah-Parsons-chasing-Aaron-Rodgers.jpg"><figcaption>Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the offensive side of the ball saw <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-praise-micah-parsons-tucker-kraft-aaron-rodgers">Packers star Jordan Love best Rodgers</a>, there is no denying the defensive game plan was executed well enough to stall the Steelers towards the end of the game. Green Bay did a fine job of not giving Rodgers a lot of time in the pocket, as it was noted by Rashan Gary.</p><p>“Going into the game, that was one of our goals, just trying to make it hard for him to see his reads, make him move around a lot in the pocket,” Gary said. “He’s a Hall of Famer.

They are 4-3, hanging onto the AFC North lead, and have playoff aspirations once again. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/steelers-news-aaron-rodgers-immediate-gesture-jordan-love-failed-revenge-game">Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers lost to the Packers in his first start</a> against his former team. The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback praised the Green Bay <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46741987/aaron-rodgers-steelers-fall-short-qb-reunion-packers" rel="noopener">fans after the loss</a> in Pittsburgh.</p><p>“I’ve heard that chant for 18 years,” Rodgers told ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. “Packer fans travel really well. First time in a while I’ve used silent count for a home game. That’s a credit to those Packer fans.”</p><p>Earlier in the season, Rodgers made it known he wanted to crush the New York Jets. His two years in the Meadowlands did not go as planned, and the current regime cut him in the offseason. But before this game, the Packers legend maintained it was not a revenge game, just an opportunity to see old friends. Rodgers kept that energy even after the loss.</p><p>“Good to see a lot of people that I grew up with in the league,” he said. “I was out there spending time with some of those guys, and I enjoyed that.”</p><p>“The guys that I spent 18 years with, training staff, equipment staff, nutritionist, [pass game specialist] Connor Lewis, who was in our room for a while, [senior assistant] Luke Getsy was there. … Guys I spent a lot of time with. Those friendships are special, and it was good to see those guys,” Rodgers continued.</p><p>The Steelers have been solid to start the year offensively, but their defense has struggled to win games when given opportunities. That includes Sunday night, when they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-praise-micah-parsons-tucker-kraft-aaron-rodgers">allowed Jordan Love to complete 20 consecutive passes</a>. Rodgers has them atop the weak AFC North, but Lamar Jackson’s return from injury could change that quickly. Can the Steelers bounce back from this loss?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After Green Bay forced the Steelers to punt in the first series in the third quarter, the Packers went on a nine-play drive that was punctuated by an eight-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Savion Williams. That drive probably wouldn’t have the same outcome if not for Kraft ripping through the Steelers’ defense for a 59-yard catch that gave the Packers a fresh set of downs at Pittsburgh’s 26-yard line.</p><p>“I was the main read in that play, (Love) had pressure, he had to get rid of the ball, I just saw that thing floating up in the air,” Kraft said about that play after the game (h/t <a href="https://www.packers.com/news/key-to-the-game-tucker-kraft-celebrates-national-tight-ends-day-with-career-performance-week-8-2025" rel="noopener">Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com</a>). “It reminded me of that Seahawks game (last year) where we had that offsides free play. I just went up, came back, attacked the ball, grabbed it, I just felt a bunch of space and used my off hand, got a couple stiff arms, just kept running.”</p><p>Looking ahead, Kraft and the Packers will have a chance to extend their win streak to four games in Week 9, when they share the field with the Carolina Panthers, as Green Bay returns to Lambeau Field after back-to-back outings away from Titletown.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Instead, Packers quarterback Jordan Love dominated in the second half, receiving praise from Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft.</p><p>“He’s the successor. He’s the up and comer. … So proud of him,” Parsons said, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Parsons has seen it from both sides, as Love crushed the Dallas Cowboys in his first playoff win in 2023. Now, he does not have to chase Love down. He just gets to watch the newest Packers superstar quarterback from the sideline.</p><p>“When you’re talking about the Favre to Rodgers to Love, Jordan has stepped up and fulfilled his end of the bargain,” Kraft said, per Demovsky.

But the Packers’ offense woke up in the second half, particularly in the fourth quarter, where Green Bay put up 21 points on the board while holding Rodgers and the Steelers to just six points.</p><p>Over an incredible stretch in the contest, Love <a href="https://x.com/WesHod/status/1982645407659495505" rel="noopener">also tied a franchise record</a> set by Brett Favre.</p><p>“Jordan Love has to dirt it, consecutive completions streak of completed passes ends at 20.

Behind 16-7 at halftime, Green Bay stormed back in the second half behind quarterback Jordan Love, who threw for 360 yards and three touchdowns, outdueling his former mentor, Aaron Rodgers.</p><p>Love, drafted in 2020 as Rodgers’ eventual successor, completed 29 of 37 passes with a 134.2 passer rating. He tied Brett Favre’s franchise record with 20 consecutive completions at one point, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-tucker-kraft-national-tight-end-day-2-tds-steelers">including two touchdowns to tight end Tucker Kraft</a>, who had a career-high 143 receiving yards, 131 of which came after the catch.</p><p>Rookie wide receiver Savion Williams scored his first NFL touchdown on an 8-yard reception, while WR Christian Watson, making his 2025 debut after an ACL injury, contributed four catches for 85 yards.</p><p>WR Romeo Doubs added three receptions for 44 yards, and running back Emanuel Wilson totaled 87 yards from scrimmage on 11 carries and three receptions. Josh Jacobs ran for 33 yards and a touchdown, including a pivotal 3-yard score in the fourth quarter that gave the Packers the lead for good.</p><p>Green Bay’s defense bailed the team out in the second half, sacking Rodgers three times, two by Rashan Gary and one by Micah Parsons, and forcing a crucial fumble recovered by S Javon Bullard. LB Edgerrin Cooper also forced a fumble that halted a late Pittsburgh drive, and LB Ty’Ron Hopper broke up a potential two-point conversion, sealing the win.</p><p>For the Steelers, Rodgers finished 24 of 36 for 219 yards with two touchdowns. DK Metcalf had five catches for 55 yards and a score, while Roman Wilson caught four passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. RB Jaylen Warren rushed 13 times for 62 yards. After a strong start, Pittsburgh struggled in the second half, allowing 28 points while scoring just three. Pittsburgh also failed to create a turnover for the third consecutive game.</p><p>The scoring sequence began in the first quarter with a 16-yard touchdown from Love to Kraft, briefly giving the Packers a 7-3 lead. The Steelers countered with field goals and a late first-half touchdown to lead 16-7. Green Bay turned the second half around with three straight scoring drives, including Williams’ touchdown, Jacobs’ go-ahead run, and Kraft’s 24-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter.

They were crisp, physical, and efficient on both sides of the ball. Pittsurgh took a commanding 16-7 lead into halftime over the Green Bay Packers. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/steelers-news-aaron-rodgers-packers-revenge-game-td-half">Aaron Rodgers was in control</a> and the Steelers’ defense looked dialed in. What followed, though, was a meltdown so complete that it left even their most loyal fans stunned.</p><h2><b>Second half spill</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Micah-Parsons-chasing-Aaron-Rodgers.jpg"><figcaption>Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The second half was an unraveling of everything that worked in the first. Pittsburgh was outscored, 28-9, after the break. The Steelers gave up big plays through the air, failed to protect the football, and watched Jordan Love pick them apart. Tight end <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-tucker-kraft-national-tight-end-day-2-tds-steelers">Tucker Kraft torched the Steelers’ secondary</a> for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Steelers’ own offense sputtered and settled for field goals. <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401772925">The 35-25 defeat</a> dropped Pittsburgh to 4-3 on the season They are still technically atop the AFC North. However, this is suddenly a team with glaring cracks in its foundation.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at and discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers most to blame for dismal second half in loss to Packers.</p><h2><b>Defense collapses under pressure</b></h2><p>What happened to the vaunted Steelers defense? The same group that smothered Green Bay early on completely fell apart after halftime. Missed tackles, blown coverages, and undisciplined penalties defined a night that should have belonged to them.</p><p>Love found rhythm after a shaky start. He just carved up Pittsburgh’s secondary with precision. Kraft was the biggest thorn in their side. He repeatedly found space over the middle, caught seven passes, and had two scores. Most of his 140+ yards came after the catch. Steelers defenders struggled to bring him down. On his second touchdown, Kraft even outran everyone. That was a damning indictment of the unit’s lack of speed in the back end.</p><p>Defensive captain Cameron Heyward didn’t mince words afterward, admitting, “There’s not a lot of fight in us right now.”</p><p>It showed, too. Cornerback Brandin Echols missed a tackle that led directly to a Packers touchdown. Meanwhile, safety Juan Thornhill looked lost tracking the ball on deep throws. Even standout corner Joey Porter Jr drew multiple costly penalties that extended drives.</p><p>The Steelers bet heavily on their experienced secondary to provide leadership and stability. The reality is grim, though. The veterans have slowed down, and the younger players aren’t disciplined enough to fill the gaps. Unless this defense finds a way to regain its edge, it will keep letting leads slip away.</p><h2><b>Offensive stagnation after halftime</b></h2><p>The offense was efficient and creative in the first half. However, it fell completely lifeless in the second. Rodgers looked sharp early. He orchestrated three scoring drives before the break. After halftime, however, the spark disappeared. The Steelers punted on three of their first five second-half possessions and turned the ball over in a crucial fourth-quarter moment that effectively sealed the loss. The offensive line crumbled under Green Bay’s second-half pressure. Rodgers was sacked three times. Those included a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-watch-micah-parsons-destroy-3-blockers-before-sacking-aaron-rodgers">back-breaking takedown by Micah Parsons</a> just as the Packers took the lead.</p><p>Even worse, the receiving corps let him down. Costly drops by George Pickens and Allen Robinson killed drives, while poor execution on third downs (1-for-10 in the second half) made sustained offense impossible. Pittsburgh relied far too heavily on kicker Chris Boswell’s leg, settling for field goals when touchdowns were needed.</p><p>The Steelers’ conservative approach after taking the lead also drew criticism. They went away from the aggressive mindset that worked in the first half.</p><h2><b>TJ Watt’s quiet night raises concerns</b></h2><p>When a team is collapsing, its stars are expected to step up. TJ Watt didn’t.</p><p>The former Defensive Player of the Year was a non-factor against the Packers. Yes, Green Bay schemed to neutralize him with double teams and quick passes. That said, Watt simply didn’t make the impact plays that have defined his career. He finished with minimal pressure and no sacks. On the other end of the field, Parsons wreaked havoc.</p><p>It’s not just about one quiet night. Watt’s start to the season has been unusually subdued. He’s not consistently winning his matchups. Also, the lack of disruption is putting even more pressure on a shaky secondary. It’s fair to wonder whether fatigue or lingering injuries are catching up to him. Whatever the reason, though, the Steelers need Watt to reassert his dominance if they hope to stay competitive in the AFC.</p><h2><b>Mike Tomlin’s conservatism costs them again</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Pittsburgh-Steelers-head-coach-Mike-Tomlin.jpg"><figcaption>Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Ultimately, this loss lands at the feet of head coach Mike Tomlin. After taking a two-score lead into halftime, the Steelers came out flat, passive, and predictable.</p><p>Tomlin’s decision to pull back offensively backfired spectacularly. The team went into a shell, and once momentum shifted toward Green Bay, they never recovered. Rodgers himself hinted at frustration postgame. He referenced “discipline issues and unnecessary penalties.” That was an indictment of coaching as much as execution.</p><p>Tomlin has built his reputation on toughness and accountability. However, this game raised real questions about both. The Steelers looked like a team unsure of its identity.</p><h2><b>A mirror moment for Pittsburgh</b></h2><p>The loss to Green Bay was a mirror. It showed who the Steelers really are right now. This is a team capable of brilliance in spurts but incapable of sustaining it. The defense isn’t elite anymore. The offense lacks rhythm. The coaching staff is too conservative when games hang in the balance. At 4-3, Pittsburgh is still alive in the AFC playoff race. That said, the flaws that surfaced Sunday night can’t be ignored.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
