Rodgers-Cobb connection helps Packers beat Steelers 27-17
Associated PressGREEN BAY, Wis. — Randall Cobb demonstrated why Aaron Rodgers wanted the veteran receiver back in Green Bay. Rodgers went 20 of 36 for 248 yards and scored the Packers’ first points on a 4-yard rush in his first home start against the Steelers, the only team he hadn’t faced at Lambeau Field. Green Bay has been missing All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari all season and hasn’t had outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith since the opening week. But this feeling definitely sucks.” It was the first time Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger had faced off as starting quarterbacks since Green Bay edged Pittsburgh 31-25 in the Super Bowl on Feb. 6, 2011. Roethlisberger led the Steelers to wins over Green Bay teams quarterbacked by Matt Flynn in 2013 and Brett Hundley in 2017, as separate collarbone injuries prevented Rodgers from playing in either game.
