A one-yard TD run by Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell has given Pittsburgh a 38-31 lead late in the fourth quarter in Green Bay.

The touchdown came two plays after Packers outside linebacker Nick Perry was flagged for encroachment on a field goal. The penalty gave the Steelers a first down.

The Steelers’ drive started after safety Troy Polamalu forced Packers quarterback Matt Flynn to fumble with less than two minutes left. Brett Keisel recovered for Pittsburgh on the Green Bay 17.

The Packers now have the ball outside the Steelers’ 30-yard line after a long kickoff return by rookie Micah Hyde.
