What Went Right, What Went Wrong
COIN TOSS: Green Bay wins the toss and defers. Steelers get the football first.
4:32 p.m. – What Went Right: So much for that streak of not scoring in the first quarter. The Steelers took the opening kickoff and needed eight plays to cover 75 yards and take a 7-0 lead on a 45-yard touchdown pass to Diontae Johnson. Najee Harris converted a third-and-1 with a 2-yard run. The touchdown came on a third-and-4, and after getting the Packers to jump offside, Ben Roethlisberger took advantage of the free play and threw a perfect pass to Johnson. It was the 400th touchdown pass of his career. Roethlisberger is the eighth quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 400 touchdown passes in his career.
