Green Bay’s preseason opener ended in a 28-9 loss to Pittsburgh, but there were bright spots amid the defeat. Jordan Love and rookie kicker Trey Smack delivered strong early performances, including a 58-yard field goal. Kyle McCord stepped in effectively, managing the two-minute drill and leading key drives. Still, the Steelers’ rookie QB Drew Allar took control in the second half with two touchdown passes, while Pittsburgh’s third-down efficiency and penalty conversions sealed the win. With the regular season looming, the Packers must build on flashes of promise and fix glaring weaknesses — especially as young players continue to develop.
