Aaron Rodgers' second TD draws Steelers to within 21-16

During the third period, Pittsburgh struggled offensively by netting negative six passing yards while Aaron Rodgers absorbed a pair of sacks. However, the final frame opened on a much brighter note after a defensive pass interference flag against Daylen Everette was successfully overturned via review due to a deflection by Jack Sawyer at the line.

Following that reprieve, Robert Spears-Jennings picked off a deep throw intended for Denzel Boston by Deshaun Watson, sparking a quick offensive march.

Capitalizing on the turnover, Rodgers orchestrated a seventy-seven yard scoring sequence across six plays. Escaping pressure by scrambling right to evade another sack, the veteran quarterback delivered a twenty-one yard scoring strike to Darnell Washington.

Cleveland managed to thwart the ensuing two-point try, keeping Pittsburgh behind by a count of twenty-one to sixteen. So far in the contest, Rodgers has completed sixteen of twenty-nine attempts for two hundred twenty-two yards, accounting for two touchdowns alongside his lone interception.
