Jordan Love stole the spotlight on Sunday Night Football, tossing three touchdown passes — including two to breakout tight end Tucker Kraft on National Tight Ends Day — as the Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-25 at Acrisure Stadium.
Love Outduels Rodgers as Packers Top Steelers on SNF, 35-25
Facing his former mentor for the first time as a starter, Love looked every bit like the franchise quarterback Green Bay believed he could be. He completed 29 of 37 passes for 360 yards and three scores, outplaying Aaron Rodgers, who went 24-of-36 for 219 yards and two touchdowns in the loss.
Kraft delivered a monster performance, firmly planting himself among the NFL’s elite tight ends. He caught seven passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns, with a staggering 131 yards coming after the catch — the third-most by a tight end in a single game since the NFL began tracking the stat in 2016. He now sits at 30 receptions for 469 yards and six touchdowns on the season.

— OptaSTATS (@OptaSTATS) October 27, 2025Green Bay’s defense made life difficult for the 41-year-old Rodgers, who had not been sacked over the previous two games. Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary combined to sack him three times, twice in the fourth quarter as the Packers tightened the screws. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper forced a key fumble in the final frame, punched out from Kenneth Gainwell, and recovered by safety Javon Bullard for Pittsburgh’s fourth turnover of the year.

The Packers allowed just three meaningful points after halftime, flipping a nine-point deficit into a comfortable win with complementary football — something Pittsburgh couldn’t match. While Rodgers has exceeded expectations in his return from his Achilles injury, the Steelers’ concerns now lie elsewhere. A defense expected to carry this team continues to underperform, and when Pittsburgh falls into obvious passing situations, its offense struggles to stay on schedule.

The Buccaneers turned four Saints turnovers into a 23-3 win in New Orleans on Sunday, riding a defensive takeover led by linebacker Anthony Nelson. Nelson stuffed the box score in a way rarely seen, forcing a fumble, scoring on an interception return, and adding a sack — all in the first half — as Tampa Bay improved to 6-2.
Nelson’s strip of Spencer Rattler and his pick-six helped stake the Bucs to an early lead, and New Orleans never recovered. The Saints managed just a 48-yard field goal before halftime and benched Rattler midway through the third quarter after a 15-of-21, 136-yard outing with two turnovers. Rookie Tyler Shough took over and went 17-of-30 for 128 yards with a pick of his own, but the Saints’ offense continued to sputter.
Tampa opened the second half with a 73-yard touchdown drive and never looked back, scoring 16 unanswered points to close out the win. At 1-7, New Orleans’ season continues to unravel, while the Bucs stay firmly in the NFC playoff picture.

The Colts’ surprise season keeps picking up steam. Indianapolis rolled to a 38-14 win over the Titans on Sunday, their fourth straight victory and first four-game streak since 2018. The Colts are now 7-1 and remain unbeaten at home, fueled by another dominant outing from quarterback Daniel Jones and MVP-level production from Jonathan Taylor.
Jones was sharp, throwing for 272 yards and three touchdowns, while Taylor piled up 174 total yards and three scores — including an 80-yard touchdown run that sent Lucas Oil Stadium into MVP chants. Taylor briefly lost the NFL rushing lead earlier in the day, but reclaimed it with 153 yards on just 12 carries. Indy has averaged 36.7 points during its win streak, but the schedule stiffens with Pittsburgh and Atlanta up next.
For Tennessee, it was another long afternoon. The Titans fell behind 38-7 before a late touchdown drive, with rookie QB Cam Ward throwing for 259 yards with one touchdown, one interception, and four sacks. His lone score was a first-career TD to fellow rookie tight end Gunnar Helm. The Titans drop to 1-7 as the Colts continue to cement themselves as one of the biggest surprises of the first half of the season.

The Broncos’ hot streak continued on Sunday as Denver blew out the Cowboys 44-24 for its fifth straight win, with rookie quarterback Bo Nix turning in another poised performance. Nix threw four touchdowns and topped 240 yards through the air, while running back RJ Harvey added two scores on the ground. Denver erupted for 27 first-half points, building a 17-point cushion and never letting Dallas back into the game.
The only concern for the 6-2 Broncos came when star corner Pat Surtain II exited with a shoulder injury and did not return after halftime. Denver’s dominance at home, however, rolled on — this marked their ninth straight win at Empower Field, the longest active home streak in the NFL. With a defense that feasts in the altitude and crowd noise amplifying their pass rush, it’s clear why playing in Denver remains one of the toughest road tests in football.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, had no answers. Dak Prescott threw two interceptions and no touchdowns before being pulled late for Joe Milton, as Dallas dropped to 3-4-1. The loss underscored Denver’s push for a home playoff game — a goal Sean Payton set after last year’s early playoff exit. If the Broncos keep this pace, hosting postseason football for the first time since 2015 is firmly in play.
