1996 Packers 27 - 2004 Steelers 10

The Packers move forward with a convincing win over the 2004 Steelers. The Pack's defense simply smothered Pittsburgh's offense after an opening TD drive from Roethlisberger and co. The Packer ground game was feeble, but for much of the second period they were siomply chewing clock, and Brett Favre was able to do enough damage with his excellent corps of receivers.
