Steelers vs Packers: Starting lineup and injury report - October 3 | NFL 2021-22 Season

After an impressive victory on the road in Week 1, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been on a downward trajectory. The road doesn't get any easier for the 1-2 Steelers as they prepare to face the Green Bay Packers. This will be the first head-to-head matchup between Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers in ten years.

The Packers have shaken off their Week 1 worries and are operating at the level expected of them. Rodgers has thrown six touchdowns and no interceptions in the last two games. The defense has a chance to right the ship against a Steelers offense that struggles to score points.
