GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers finally found the end zone in the first quarter but couldn’t get back there until the game was out of reach. Pittsburgh failed to capitalize on its quick start and fell 27-17 to the Green Bay Packers for its third consecutive loss.

At age 39, Ben Roethlisberger is rarely throwing deep and he was ineffective against the Packers after the opening series.
