With Donald Driver and Charles Woodson on the bench with injuries, the Steelers built off the momentum established with a late first-half touchdown.
The Packers couldn't do anything after taking the opening kickoff, moving just 10 yards on a three-and-out possession. A face mask call on Tim Masthay's punt gave the Steelers the ball at their own 35.
The Steelers cut the lead when Rashard Mendenhall finished a 50-yard drive with an eight yard touchdown run. After another three-and-out, the Steelers looked like they were going to take the lead but Frank Zombo's sack of Ben Roethlisberger on 3rd and 13 forced an unsuccessful 52-yard field goal attempt.
The Packers still lead this one, but they look listless right now. Pittsburgh dominated the third quarter. The Packers need to get their act together quick or the game could slip away.
Key play: No doubt, Zombo's sack of Roethlisberger on 3rd and 13. Instead of keeping the drive going and possibly taking the lead, the Steelers were forced to try a long field goal.
