The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. and can be watched on CBS.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off of their second consecutive loss, a disappointing 24-10 loss to their AFC North foe Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh’s offense has struggled, too, with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger struggling and looking his age. Pittsburgh is 1-2 and could be missing some key weapons.

For the Green Bay Packers, they’ve won two straight after falling to New Orleans in the season opener and are 2-1. Despite all the preseason drama surrounding quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he’s looked solid through the first three weeks. Rodgers has thrown six touchdowns for 649 yards on 60 of 88 passing.

Sunday’s matchup marks just the third overall matchup between the two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. The two organizations have met two times since they met in the 2011 Super Bowl, but Rodgers did not play in either game. The game marked Rodgers’ lone Super Bowl appearance, a 31-25 win over Roethlisberger’s Steelers on Feb. 6, 2011, in Arlington, Texas. 

“It’s the old cliché — everyone says it’s the quarterbacks against each other, and then we’ll say, ‘No, we play against the defense,'” Roethlisberger said this week. “But it’s still an honor to share a stadium with one of the greatest and a guy that I admire, and a lot of people admire, that has just done it at such a high level for a long time. It’s pretty cool to watch his mastery of the game.”

Something will have to give in the rare matchup between the two quarterbacks. Will the Pittsburgh Steelers rediscover its offense, or will the Green Bay Packers be too much to handle? Here are the list of inactives.

Packers inactives

  • Cornerback Kevin King
  • Linebacker Krys Barnes
  • Linebacker La’Darius Hamilton
  • Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins

The Packers will have rookie offensive lineman Josh Myers available for Sunday’s game.

Steelers inactives

  • Wide receiver Chase Claypool
  • Offensive lineman Rashad Coward
  • Defensive tackle Carlos Davis
  • Offensive lineman Chukwuma Okorafor
  • Quarterback Dwayne Haskins
  • Linebacker Buddy Johnson
  • Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon

The Steelers will be without their star receiver Chase Claypool.
