The Brett Hundley-led Packers traveled to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers on the Sunday night stage. Could the young gun lead the Pack to victory?

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers looked like a matchup that wouldn’t be the same without Aaron Rodgers leading the way for those in the green and white. However, Brett Hundley make it an entertaining ones for those who stayed up on Sunday night, and it all came down to the final play.

In the end, it took the longest field goal ever kicked in Pittsburgh to win a 31-28 nail-biter for the Steelers after a back and forth battle with the visiting Packers. Ben Roethlisberger led the way offensively alongside Antonio Brown, and the team improved to 9-2 on the year to stay atop the AFC.

There were plenty of highlights to watch in this game, including a game-winning field goal, and you missed a lot if you didn’t tune in. You’re in luck, however, as we have the highlights to watch below:

Three Stars

1. Ben Roethlisberger

The Steelers passing game was key on Sunday night, and you have to give some credit to the guy throwing the ball. Ben Roethlisberger put on a strong showing in front of the Pittsburgh fans, and proved why his Steelers are the best of the best in the AFC at the moment as he threw for four touchdowns on the night to account for almost all of the Steelers’ points.

2. Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown is an absolute animal, plain and simple. He made endless catches with crazy coverage, found the end zone twice and was an easy target for Roethlisberger to take advantage of against a vulnerable Packers defense.

3. Brett Hundley

The young Packers quarterback made up for his previous lackluster efforts in recent weeks to keep things close with the top team in the AFC, taking it down to the wire with one of the league’s best squads. He proved he could be a solid quarterback in the NFL with his performance on the road against a good team, and the future looks bright for Hundley.
