Running backs shine early, defense shines late as Steelers slip past Green Bay with 23-19 victory

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Najee Harris stopped paying attention to the circumstances long ago. Chris Boswell kicked three field goals — including two in the 16 minutes after Green Bay took a slim 19-17 lead — to help the Steelers improve to 3-1 since their bye week. “We don’t care how we get them as long as we get them.” Love completed 21 of 40 for 289 yards and two touchdowns for Green Bay, but the Packers were unable to back up last week’s victory over the Los Angeles Rams despite outgaining the Steelers by 75 yards. If we keep putting in the work, it’ll go in our favor.” If Green Bay wants to find a team to emulate, it could do worse than Pittsburgh. At times, the offense looked as fluid as it has in a long time in the second game since embattled offensive coordinator Matt Canada moved from the coach’s box to the sideline in an effort find what head coach Mike Tomlin has called a new “perspective.” Don’t expect Canada to move anytime soon.
