Updated NFC playoff picture proves importance of Packers' win over Steelers

The Green Bay Packers entered their highly anticipated Week 8 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers as the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture, and they'll head into their Week 9 matchup with the Carolina Panthers in that same slot after Jordan Love outdueled Aaron Rodgers to lead the Green & Gold to a 35-25 victory this past Sunday night in prime time.

Facing Rodgers for the first and likely only time, Love put on one of the best overall performances of his young career, completing a season-best 78.4 percent of his passes, including 20 in a row at one point, for a season-high 360 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions, thus earning the best regular-season passer rating of his career at 134.
