Pittsburgh trailed 9-7 entering the third quarter before Allar's 3-yard rushing touchdown at the 2:25 mark put the Steelers ahead for good at 14-9. Allar then connected with Wetjen on a 5-yard scoring pass early in the fourth to seal a 21-9 final. Nichols III had opened Pittsburgh's scoring with a 1-yard rush at the end of the second quarter. Green Bay's points came entirely from the boot of Smack, who converted field goals from 37, 58, and 38 yards — with the 58-yarder at the halftime buzzer keeping the Packers within one heading into the break.

With no standings or playoff position at stake in preseason, the more relevant note is that Allar finished 9-of-12 for 150 yards and a passing touchdown while also rushing for a score — a productive outing for Pittsburgh's quarterback. Wetjen was his most dangerous target, turning two catches into 79 yards and the fourth-quarter touchdown. Nichols III added 36 yards on 10 carries. For Green Bay, McCord completed 12 of 16 passes for 102 yards but the offense could not convert drives into touchdowns, settling for Smack's three field goals.
