Today at 4:25 p.m. ET, the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-8) and Green Bay Packers (7-6-1) go head-to-head live from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The game can be live streamed here. Pittsburgh fans can hear all of the action on 102.5 WDVE while Green Bay fans can do the same on WTMJ 620.
The Packers control their own destiny and can win their third straight NFC North title with a win over the Steelers this week and then a victory over the Chicago Bears next week though quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be absent for the seventh straight week, leading to Matt Flynn getting his fifth start of the season.
Flynn is 103-for-161 (64.0%) for 1,160 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions this season.
The Packers have mounted comebacks in their last two games with Flynn under center, most recently storming back from a 26-3 halftime deficit to beat the Dallas Cowboys 37-36 last week to propel their chances of making the playoffs.
"We're about getting ready for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it's an excellent team victory," coach Mike McCarthy said per ESPN. "Can't say enough about our football team, can't say how proud I am of each and every player just to stay the course, and that's exactly what they did."
Despite an 0-4 start to the season, the Steelers still have hope of making the playoffs after a 30-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday, though it will need a lot of help.
"I have said for a bunch of weeks now that there is going to be no quit from me or from anybody," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said via ESPN.
Roethlisberger threw for 191 yards last week and is 340-for-525 (64.8%) for 3,915 yards with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Big Ben committed 15 turnovers with 10 being interceptions over his first nine games but has just two giveaways in his last five games while throwing for 12 touchdowns and just one pick.
Antonio Brown has set career highs for Pittsburgh this season with 95 catches 1,307 yards and eight touchdowns while emerging as a favorite target of the Steelers.
Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy has rushed for 1,028 yards in his rookie season on 248 carries and reached the end zone eight times. He'll look to exploit Pittsburgh's defense.
The Steelers look to keep their grim playoff hopes alive while the Packers hope to continue taking strides towards a third consecutive NFC North championship this afternoon.
