Love Ties Favre, Ends Pittsburgh Road Jinx

Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers to a 35-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, throwing for 360 yards and three touchdowns and completing a 20-pass streak that tied Brett Favre's franchise record. Love outplayed Aaron Rodgers in Rodgers' first game against his former team; Rodgers completed 24 of 36 for 219 yards and two TDs, praised Love afterward and the two exchanged a warm handshake. Tight end Tucker Kraft had a career night with seven catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Green Bay overcame a nine-point halftime deficit, scoring 21 fourth-quarter points to take the lead for good; the win was the Packers' first in Pittsburgh since 1970 and improved them to 5-1-1 atop the NFC North. The Packers amassed more than 450 yards of offense while the Steelers surrendered over 450 and fell to their second straight loss. Analysts said if Love sustains this level of play, he could make Green Bay a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
