Late in the fourth quarter, with the Steelers trailing 30-24, Rodgers threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to Pat Freiermuth to put Pittsburgh ahead. The level of accuracy for such long throws made Rodgers so popular in the past, and he continues to show that he still got it.

By the end of the half, however, it was a pair of Pittsburgh Steelers turnovers that gave Flacco and the Cincinnati Bengals the edge.

After the Thursday night collapse, the Steelers need a win on Week 8’s Sunday Night Football against Rodgers’ former Packers to reestablish themselves as top contenders in the AFC.

Unfortunately, that joy was short-lived.
