The Packers scored off another Steelers turnover, with Mason Crosby connecting on a 55-yard field goal the ensuing drive.
Tolzien led the Packers in passing in completing 11 of 19 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown.
The subsequent two-point conversion failed but within another series Jones had the Steelers within striking distance again and this time connected with Shakim Phillips for a 20-yard touchdown pass and another failed two point conversion.
