Week 4 Game Thoughts and Synopsis

Final Score: Packers 27, Steelers 17

Sorry about missing last week everyone, I was on vacation and wanted to just relax and enjoy my time off.

That being said, I was really in for a rude awakening and return to normal life yesterday when the Steelers lost to the Packers, 27-17.

Quick synopsis for those lucky enough to have missed it: Big Ben threw his 400th career touchdown to Diontae Johnson on the first drive of the game, making it 7-0 Steelers. The Packers scored the next 27 points, putting them up 27-10. Najee Harris found the end zone late in the fourth quarter making the final score 27-17.

There were two and only two good things that happened in yesterday's game for the Steelers. You can't convince me otherwise. 1) We did score on the opening drive. I didn't see the play, however, because CBS decided to continue playing the Jets vs. Titans game which went into overtime. The final (arguably) good thing that happened in yesterday's game is that the final score should have been 27-24 but the officials decided to lose their minds and call offsides on Joe Haden on a blocked field goal that we returned for a touchdown.

If we continue in that mindset, however, it really should have been 31-27 Steelers as a final score thanks to Big Ben and Juju narrowly missing an obvious touchdown.

Other big milestones that occurred yesterday was Big Ben's 400 career touchdown pass and Najee Harris' first rushing touchdown.

Unfortunately, none of that could compete with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

I think this gif of Juju sums up the game well.

The Steelers have started three other seasons under Mike Tomlin at 1-3 or worse: 2013, 2018 and 2019. All three seasons we missed the playoffs but pulled off a winning season.
