The Packers lost the game but not the season on Sunday as
the Pittsburgh Steelers come to Lambeau and pick up a 38-31 victory.  The Packers nearly pulled off another
historic comeback.  After rallying to tie
the game at 31 when trailing by 10 points, Matt Flynn fumbled set up a Le’Veon
Bell go-ahead score.  Green Bay drove down to the one but a false
start pushed them back to the six and the clock ran out after running just one
play.  Eddie Lacy ran for 84 yards and
two TDs before leaving with an ankle injury. 
Lacy passed John Brockington to set to rookie record for most yards
rushing in a season.  The Packers also
lost Clay Matthews as he re-injured his broken thumb.  With all the bad news of losing Green Bay got big time help from Philadelphia. 
The Eagles hammered the Bears 54-11 setting up a winner take all matchup
at Soldier Field next Sunday for the NFC North.
