I honestly don't know. I didn't watch it (because I turned it off before the half because I am an old person and go to bed early and because they were pissing me off) and the rules around these things are so damned convoluted I've stopped trying to figure it out.
Another link to add, last paragraph: http://packerswire.usatoday.com/2017/11/27/did-helmet-to-helmet-collision-help-steelers-beat-packers/
The moment he was hit I can definitely see why he looked more like a runner than passer, but there doesn't seem to be any consistent way to determine how a qb in the pocket with the ball in his hand is a actually runner and not a passer.
