When Packers QB Jordan Love faces off against Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers in a Sunday Night Football matchup at 8:20 p.m. ET tonight, it could be an old guy vs. new guy classic. Three seasons after he was replaced as the Packers QB, Rodgers hosts Love at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
Love had an unsteady beginning to his tenure as the Packers' successor to Rodgers, but has grown into his own and is having a solid 2025 season.
Let’s take a look at the Jordan Love stats and pick for Sunday Night Football, as well as the PrizePicks projections you need to be aware of for this SNF showdown.
Jordan Love Stats and Picks for Sunday Night Football
In his third season as the Packers’ starting QB, Love has shown growth. All of his season average numbers across the board are up, and he’s completing nearly 70% of his passes.
This would be impressive in most cases; however, it’s made more remarkable by the inconsistency that Love has seen amongst his pass-catchers.
With WRs Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Dontayvion Wicks all missing stretches or the entire season so far, one could excuse Love if he were similarly inconsistent. Surprisingly, though, the Utah State product has maintained a strong semblance of composure, leaning on second-year TE Tucker Kraft as well as veteran WR Romeo Doubs to lead the passing offense.

Jordan Love Projection: 12.5 Rushing Yards
As the tweet above states, Love didn’t get a lot of respect from oddsmakers on his rushing yards projections due to MCL and groin injuries in 2024. Things have changed a bit in 2025 however, as Love has easily cleared 12 yards in his last 4 games.
The Steelers don’t give up a ton of rushing yards to quarterbacks. Still, it’s worth noting that they’ve played four somewhat immobile QBs in Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Sam Darnold, while giving up an average of 9.5 carries and 46.5 rush yards to QBs Justin Fields and Drake Maye.
The Packers and Steelers both enter this matchup knowing a win could be pivotal for their playoff pushes — and there’s no better way to get in on the action than with PrizePicks.
