Several players got involved and the referees tried to calm the situation when two of them were knocked down as the brawl continued.

The game stopped for a while as the officials sorted out the fight, and it was Steelers linebacker Nick Herbig who was ultimately called an unnecessary roughing penalty, giving the Packers a 15-yard gain.
However, from that point on, tension continued for both teams until the final whistle resulted in the Packers winning 35–25 in a game in which Rodgers was attempting to become the fifth quarterback in NFL history to beat all 32 teams in his career.
For the first time since being traded to the New York Jets, Rodgers faced the Packers, the team he won with. Super Bowl with four MVP awards. But his former student Jordan Love turned out to be the best back in the game, throwing for three touchdowns and 360 yards on the road Sunday night.

However, there were times when Rodgers looked great for the Steelers, including throwing touchdown passes. DK Metcalfe and Roman Wilson. But several Pittsburgh attempts stalled, leading to multiple field goal attempts by Chris Boswell that kept the Steelers in the game.
