Where Are the Two Teams Standing Heading Into SNF?
The Packers enter Sunday Night Football with momentum from back-to-back wins. Their record stands at 4-1-1, and they sit atop the NFC North, holding a slim lead in a competitive division. Green Bay has relied on a strong defense and timely offensive contributions to secure victories, even in close games.
Jordan Love has been an effective starting quarterback for the Packers all season, and his solid play continued with his performance in their win over the Cardinals on Sunday. His 179 passing yards and one touchdown may not jump off the page initially, but he helped the Packers march down the field on five separate scoring drives.
Through Week 7, Love ranks fourth in PFSN’s QB Impact metric, and he is seventh in EPA per dropback and has the highest EPA per dropback average in a clean pocket in the entire NFL. With the defense creating pressure and Love managing the offense effectively, Green Bay has positioned itself as a serious contender in the NFC.
The Steelers, meanwhile, remain atop the AFC North despite a tough Thursday night loss to the Bengals. Their record stands at 4-2, and while the Bengals’ win narrowed the gap, the Steelers are not in crisis. They will need stronger performances to maintain separation in the division, especially with Joe Burrow set to return for Cincinnati.
Rodgers, who ranks 14th in QBi, had a standout individual performance despite the loss. He threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns, though he added two interceptions. Even late in his career, Rodgers remains clutch, ranking sixth in the NFL with a 0.89 clutch sum and tying for fourth in the league with 14 passing touchdowns. His ability to stay competitive in critical moments will be a key storyline as the Steelers face his former team.
