The Green Bay Packers are locked in a low-scoring dogfight against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, with Jordan Love and the offense struggling to get things rolling.
But one player who isn’t struggling is tight end Tucker Kraft.
Already leading the Packers’ offense in yards before the game with 326, with just five minutes left in the third quarter, Tucker was the best player on the field, racking up 117 yards and a touchdown from his five receptions, which included a monster 59-yard reception on third-and-five for the offense.
Kraft has been a shining light for the offense against the much-vaunted Steelers defense and is a big reason why the Packers are within striking distance in the third quarter.

Kraft having superb 2025 season
With so many weapons at Love’s disposal, Kraft has been one of the most consistent, having over 40 yards in four of his six games, and when we add in his 117 (and counting) against the Steelers, there will be daylight between him and second place in terms of yards for the Green Bay offense.
After a career-best season in 2024, which saw him post over 700 yards and seven touchdowns, Kraft already has over half his yardage totals and has five receiving touchdowns, and we are at Week 7.
So, there is a real chance that if his current form line continues, he will once again have a career-best season as part of a Green Bay offense many touts as one of the best in football.
And on Sunday Night Football, in front of the entire nation, Tucker is announcing himself to the football world.
