In his last 11 regular-season starts against NFC North opponents,<br />
Rodgers has <strong>com</strong>pleted 251 of 354 passes (70.9 percent) for 3,042<br />
yards and 28 touchdowns with four INTs for a 118.6 passer rating.<br />
Rodgers has a 23-7 record (including playoffs) as a starter against divisional<br />
foes.<br />
In 10 career starts vs. Minnesota, Rodgers has a <strong>com</strong>bined 116.4 passer<br />
rating as he <strong>com</strong>pleted 230 of 326 passes (70.6 percent) for 2,823 yards<br />
and 24 TDs with four INTs. Rodgers has a <strong>com</strong>bined 132.5 passer rating<br />
in his last five starts against the Vikings (124-166, 1,537 yards, 16<br />
TDs, one INT).<br />
STAT OF THE WEEK<br />
In Sunday’s regular-season finale, QB Aaron Rodgers threw for a<br />
season-high 365 yards as he went over the 4,000-yard mark for the<br />
fourth time in his career.<br />
Rodgers finished the season with 4,295 yards passing, the thirdhighest<br />
season output of his career behind his franchise-record 4,643<br />
yards in 2011 and his 4,434 yards in 2009.<br />
With just eight interceptions on the season, it marked the third time<br />
in Rodgers’ career that he had thrown for 4,000 yards and eight or<br />
fewer interceptions in a season, the most in <strong>NFL</strong> history.<br />
Rodgers threw just seven interceptions in 2009 and six in 2011.<br />
Patriots QB Tom Brady (twice, 2007 and 2012) is the only other quarterback<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history to have two or more seasons of 4,000 passing<br />
yards and eight or fewer interceptions.<br />

VIKINGS AT PACKERS – NFC WILD CARD<br />
POSTSEASON PROFICIENCY<br />
As productive as QB Aaron Rodgers has been during the regular season<br />
in his five years as the starter, he has also carried that over to the playoffs.<br />
Rodgers capped off the 2010 postseason with a 304-yard, three-TD<br />
effort vs. Pittsburgh that earned him Super Bowl XLV honors. He<br />
became just the fourth quarterback in <strong>NFL</strong> history to throw for<br />
300 yards and three TDs in a Super Bowl, joining Joe Montana, Steve<br />
Young and Jake Delhomme.<br />
Rodgers has posted a 110-plus passer rating in four of his six career<br />
postseason starts. That already ties him for fourth in league history<br />
behind only Montana (six in 23 starts), Brett Favre (five in 24<br />
starts) and Tom Brady (five in 22 starts).<br />
A look at where Rodgers ranks in <strong>NFL</strong> postseason history in several<br />
categories (min. 150 attempts):<br />
Quarterback<br />
Passer Rating<br />
1. Aaron Rodgers, GB 105.5<br />
2. Bart Starr, GB 104.8<br />

2. Bart Starr, GB 1.41 (213/3)<br />
3. Aaron Rodgers, GB 1.82 (220/4)<br />
Rodgers threw for 1,094 yards in the 2010 postseason, good for No. 3<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history behind only Eli Manning’s 1,219 passing yards with the<br />
Giants in 2011 and Warner’s 1,147 yards with Arizona in 2008. Rodgers’<br />
nine TDs in 2010 tied him for No. 3 in <strong>NFL</strong> postseason history behind<br />
only Montana (1989) and Warner (2008), who threw for 11 TDs each.<br />
With his three-TD passing performance at Atlanta in the NFC Divisional<br />
Playoff, Rodgers brought his TD total in his first three playoff games to<br />
10, the most in <strong>NFL</strong> history. That topped the mark of nine held by Jeff<br />
George, Daryle Lamonica and Dan Marino in their first three playoff starts.<br />
Rodgers holds both of the top single-game passing yardage marks in<br />
postseason history with a 423-yard outing at Arizona in the 2009 postseason<br />
and a 366-yard effort in 2010 at Atlanta.<br />
HOW THEY HAVE FARED<br />
Since the <strong>NFL</strong> went to a 12-team playoff format in 1990, the Packers have<br />
been the No. 3 seed in the NFC four times (1995, 2002, 2004, 2012).<br />
This will be the 10th time that the Packers have played in the Wild Card<br />
round in their 15 playoff appearances since 1990. Green Bay has a 6-4<br />
(.600) record in Wild Card games, including a 1-1 mark under Head<br />
Coach Mike McCarthy.<br />
A breakdown of the Packers’ playoff seeds, and their postseason record<br />
as that seed, from 1990-2011:<br />
PLAYOFF SEED<br />
No. 1 2 times (3-1) No. 4 3 times (3-3)<br />
No. 2 2 times (3-2) No. 5 2 times (0-2)<br />

Green Bay’s pass defense made noticeable strides in 2012, with the team<br />
finishing the season ranked No. 11 in the <strong>NFL</strong> (218.3 ypg).<br />
That was more than an 81-yard improvement from Green Bay’s average<br />

AT THE HELM<br />
Having led Green Bay to the playoffs in five of his seven seasons as head<br />
coach, Mike McCarthy is joined by Vince Lombardi and Mike Holmgren<br />
as the only coaches to guide the Packers to a Super Bowl win with a victory<br />
over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV.<br />
McCarthy led the Packers to a Super Bowl win in his fifth season in<br />
Green Bay (2010), the same point that Holmgren led the Packers for the<br />
first time to the <strong>NFL</strong> title game in 1996.<br />
McCarthy joined Pittsburgh’s Bill Cowher (2005) as the only Super Bowlwinning<br />
coaches to lead their respective teams to three road wins as the<br />
No. 6 seed in the postseason en route to a world title.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers’ 21-14 win at Chicago in the 2010 season was their second<br />
NFC Championship Game appearance in four seasons, the only team in<br />
the conference to do so over that span.<br />
Including playoffs, McCarthy has a 79-41 record since taking over<br />
as head coach in 2006, a .658 winning percentage that ranks No. 3<br />
among current <strong>NFL</strong> head coaches (minimum 50 games):<br />

Cobb led the team in receptions (80) and receiving yards (954), despite<br />
missing the final game due to injury. Over his last 12 games, he had 69<br />
receptions for 858 yards (12.4 avg.) and eight TDs.<br />

season recording at least three interception returns for TDs. <strong>The</strong> last <strong>NFL</strong><br />
team to register four straight seasons with at least three INT returns for<br />
TDs was the Los Angeles Rams from 1983-86.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers’ 1,948 INT return yards from 2008-11 were the most by<br />
an <strong>NFL</strong> team over a four-year period since the merger. A look<br />

TRAMON TAKES IT AWAY<br />
In Week 2 vs. Chicago, CB Tramon Williams matched his career high<br />
with two interceptions, his second two-INT game over a nine-game span<br />
in the regular season (also Week 11 in 2011 vs. Tampa Bay).<br />
Williams was the only undrafted player in the league to record at least<br />
four INTs in each of the past four seasons (2008-11).<br />
In Green Bay’s Week 9 win at San Diego in 2011, Williams posted the<br />
first TD of his career in the regular season on a 43-yard INT return.<br />
Williams led the team in INTs in 2010 with a career-high six picks, and<br />
added three more during the postseason.<br />
Including playoffs, Williams is tied for No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in interceptions<br />
and ranks No. 2 in interception return yards since 2010:<br />

Green Bay did not allow a point on an opening possession until the<br />

only players in franchise history to ac<strong>com</strong>plish that feat and is the only<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> player to have four seven-plus INT seasons since 2006.<br />
In the Week 7 win at Minnesota last season, he intercepted QB Christian<br />

Woodson returned an INT for a touchdown in six straight seasons<br />
(2006-11), be<strong>com</strong>ing the first player in <strong>NFL</strong> history to do so. No<br />
other <strong>NFL</strong> player has ac<strong>com</strong>plished the feat in more than four consecutive<br />
seasons.<br />
Woodson’s nine interceptions for TDs from 2006-11 ranked No. 1 in the<br />
league over that span, more than double the total of the nine players that<br />
tied for the No. 2 spot with four each.<br />
Woodson’s nine interception TDs over six seasons (2006-11) were tied<br />
for the most by a player over a six-year period in <strong>NFL</strong> history, matching<br />
the mark of Houston Oilers safety Ken Houston (1967-72).<br />
With his first INT for a TD <strong>com</strong>ing in his rookie season of 1998, the<br />
time from Woodson’s first INT-TD to his most recent spans 14 seasons<br />
(1998-2011). That ranks tied for No. 3 in <strong>NFL</strong> history behind only Rod<br />
Woodson (1987-2002) and Deion Sanders (1990-2004), according to<br />
the Elias Sports Bureau.<br />
His INT return for a score against the Broncos was his ninth career with<br />
the Packers, further extending his franchise record. Adderley ranks No.<br />
2 in team annals (seven, 1961-69).<br />
It was also Woodson’s 10th defensive TD (nine INTs, one fumble return)<br />
in a Green Bay uniform, which further extended his franchise mark.<br />
He led the Packers with a career-high five forced fumbles in 2010. He<br />
was the only defensive back in the <strong>NFL</strong> to register four or more<br />
forced fumbles each season in 2009 and 2010.<br />

309 AND COUNTING<br />
Another packed house at Lambeau Field against the Titans in Week 16<br />
brought the stadium’s consecutive sellouts streak to 310 games (293<br />
regular season, 17 playoffs).<br />
<strong>The</strong> league’s longest-tenured stadium, Lambeau Field is hosting its<br />
56th season of football in 2012. A total of 636,177 fans made their way<br />
through the turnstiles for the nine home contests last season.<br />
Across American professional sports, only Boston’s Fenway Park (1912)<br />
and Chicago’s Wrigley Field (1914) have longer tenures.<br />
THE LAMBEAU ADVANTAGE<br />
<strong>The</strong> crown jewel of the National Football League, Lambeau Field has long<br />
been known as one of the tougher venues to play in, particularly during the<br />
harsh Wisconsin winter.<br />
Re-establishing home-field advantage after a 4-4 mark in 2008 was one<br />
of the goals of 2009, and with the Packers finishing 6-2 at home, they<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plished that goal. Green Bay followed that up with a 7-1 mark at<br />
Lambeau Field in 2010, a perfect 8-0 record in 2011, the first undefeated<br />
home mark since 2002, and a 7-1 mark this season.<br />
Head Coach Mike McCarthy stated consistently upon his arrival in<br />
Green Bay that one of the team’s goals would be to reclaim the mystique<br />
of playing at Lambeau Field. Mission ac<strong>com</strong>plished. <strong>The</strong> team is 41-9<br />
(.820) at home over the past 50 regular-season games.<br />
Since Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren began the revitalization of the<br />
franchise in 1992, Green Bay owns the best home record in the <strong>NFL</strong>. A<br />

<strong>The</strong> Packers’ win over Dallas at Lambeau in Week 10 of 2009 was the first<br />

Since that victory, the Packers have been one of the best teams in the<br />

Talk of unrestricted free agency in the early ’90s led many to forecast tough<br />

However, Green Bay has remained among the most successful teams<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. — With the arrival of Randy Moss and a few other additions in the offseason, quarterback Alex Smith knew the San Francisco<br />
49ers were serious about beefing up their passing game.<br />
And while the 49ers aren’t going to stray <strong>com</strong>pletely from the defense and running game-based formula that got them to the NFC Championship<br />
game last season, Smith hoped he gave future opponents a few things to think about with his play in Sunday’s 30-22 victory over the Green Bay<br />
Packers at Lambeau Field.<br />
Smith was 20 of 26 for 211 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, spreading the ball around to six different receivers — including<br />
Moss and fellow offseason addition Mario Manningham.<br />
Smith got Moss involved early on, finding him wide open in the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown in the second quarter.<br />
Facing a Packers team that lost only once in the 2011 regular season was a tough opening road test, the 49ers were more than ready.<br />
Things went so well for San Francisco that when David Akers tried a 63-yard field goal at the end of the first half, it bounced off the crossbar and<br />
then kept going through the uprights to tie an <strong>NFL</strong> record.<br />
Still, the most impressive part of Sunday’s effort was on defense, where the 49ers smothered quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense<br />
for three quarters, then made one last stand to stop a late rally to seal the win.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 49ers took a 16-point lead into the fourth quarter, then twice let Rodgers and the Packers cut the lead to 8. But the defense held firm on a<br />
potential game-tying drive in the final minutes.<br />
It was a harsh reality check for the Packers, who came into their opener with hopes that a rebuilt defense and improved running game could help<br />
get them back to the Super Bowl after <strong>com</strong>ing up short in the playoffs last season.<br />
Rodgers finished 30 of 44 for 303 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, but the Packers couldn’t really move the ball before the fourth<br />
quarter.<br />
Rodgers also finished the game as the Packers’ leading rusher, with new addition Cedric Benson gaining just 18 yards on nine carries.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. — <strong>The</strong> Green Bay Packers rattled and robbed Jay Cutler while Aaron Rodgers and Co. sputtered at times against the stout<br />
Chicago Bears defense.<br />
So with all those stars on the field for the <strong>NFL</strong>’s most storied rivalry, the biggest play of the day was a gutsy call for a perfectly executed fake field<br />
goal in Green Bay’s 23-10 victory at Lambeau Field on Thursday.<br />
With the Packers facing a 4th and 26 from the Chicago 27 and lined up for a field goal late in the second quarter, punter Tim Masthay flipped the<br />
ball to backup tight end Tom Crabtree, who streaked into the end zone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers’ defense did the rest.<br />
Cutler threw four interceptions, including a pair to Tramon Williams. Facing a fierce pass rush all night, Cutler was sacked seven times, including<br />
3.5 for Clay Matthews. New Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall was held to two catches for 24 yards.<br />
It was an impressive rebound for the Packers from an unsettling season-opening loss to San Francisco.<br />
Thursday’s game was a huge step backward for the Bears, who were filled with confidence after steamrolling Indianapolis in their opener.<br />
Rodgers finished the game 22 of 32 for 219 yards with a touchdown and an interception.<br />
<strong>The</strong> touchdown went to Donald Driver, who barely played in the loss to San Francisco.<br />
Cutler threw a late touchdown to Kellen Davis, cutting the lead to 23-10 with 6:49 remaining. But the Bears couldn’t mount a <strong>com</strong>eback as<br />
Matthews and the Packers kept turning up the heat.<br />
Bears running back Matt Forte provided much of what little offense the Bears could muster before leaving the game in the third quarter. He<br />
appeared to twist his right ankle while being tackled by Charles Woodson.<br />
Marshall missed a huge opportunity early in the third, when Cutler found him streaking wide open in the end zone -- but the wide receiver couldn’t<br />
haul it in, and the Bears had to settle for a 45-yard field goal by Robbie Gould that cut the lead to 13-3.<br />

SEATTLE — M.D. Jennings was convinced he had the ball pinned to his chest the entire time and would be awarded an interception to cap Green<br />
Bay’s <strong>com</strong>eback victory.<br />
A crew of replacement officials had other views — the ones that counted.<br />
<strong>The</strong> result is a bizarre ending that gave the Seattle Seahawks a 14-12 victory Monday night that capped a tough weekend for the replacement refs.<br />
Russell Wilson threw a disputed 24-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate on the final play of the game, a game that finally ended 10 minutes later<br />
when both teams were brought back on the field for the extra point.<br />
Wilson scrambled from the pocket and threw to the corner of the end zone as the clock expired. Tate shoved Green Bay’s Sam Shields out of the<br />
way, then wrestled with Jennings for possession. It was ruled on the field as a touchdown and after a lengthy review, referee Wayne Elliott came out<br />
from under the hood and announced “the ruling on the field stands” and CenturyLink Field erupted in celebration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers shook off a disastrous first half when Aaron Rodgers was sacked eight times and <strong>com</strong>pletely controlled possession in the final 30<br />
minutes. Green Bay ran 41 offensive plays in the second half, got field goals of 29 and 40 yards from Mason Crosby and Cedric Benson’s 1-yard TD<br />
run with 8:44 left to take a 12-7 lead.<br />
Rodgers finished 26 of 39 for 223 yards and no turnovers.<br />
Rodgers converted three third-down conversions on the Packers’ touchdown drive to take the lead. He hit Jermichael Finley for 14 yards on<br />
third-and-10 at the start of the drive deep in the Packers end. He followed with a third-and-10 <strong>com</strong>pletion to James Jones for 13 yards, getting rid<br />
of the ball before the blitz arrived.<br />
Green Bay appeared to take the lead on an 11-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings, but he stepped out before reaching the end zone and was short of the<br />
first down. On third down, Rodgers rolled out and attempted to run, but was stopped short by inches. McCarthy challenged the spot and the call was<br />
reversed on the challenge with Rodgers given the first down. Benson then plowed in on the next play to give the Packers their first lead with 8:44 left.<br />
Seattle (2-1) won its second straight, while Green Bay (1-2) and saw its streak of wins in six straight road openers snapped.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Garrett Hartley missed a field goal in a wild ending at Lambeau Field, where the New Orleans Saints (0-4) blew a fourthquarter<br />
lead and lost to the Green Bay Packers 28-27 on Sunday.<br />
Aaron Rodgers threw a go-ahead touchdown to Jordy Nelson in the fourth quarter.<br />
Soon after, Packers fans were howling about what appeared to be yet another bad call — this time by the regular officials, not the replacements.<br />
Darren Sproles appeared to fumble the ensuing kickoff but officials ruled that he was down by contact. Replays showed that the ball clearly came<br />
out but the Packers were out of replay challenges, leaving Packers fans screaming at the officials for the second week in a row.<br />
Drew Brees then led the Saints into field goal range, and Hartley hit a 43-yard attempt — but the Saints were called for holding, forcing Hartley to<br />
line up a 53-yarder. <strong>The</strong> Packers then were called for encroachment, leaving Hartley to try a 48-yarder and he missed it wide left.<br />
Rodgers threw for 319 yards with four touchdowns and an interception for the Packers (2-2).<br />
With the Packers leading 21-14 in the third quarter, fans — and head coach Mike McCarthy — were on the officials again when McCarthy challenged<br />
a catch by Jimmy Graham but it wasn’t overturned.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers <strong>com</strong>mitted a personal foul on a Saints field goal attempt later in the drive, giving New Orleans first-and-goal on the 1. But the defense<br />
held, forcing a 20-yard field goal by Hartley to cut the lead to 21-17 with 9:41 left in the third quarter.<br />
Rodgers marched the Packers down the field again but needed attention from the team’s training staff after a face mask by New Orleans’ Malcolm<br />
Jenkins. Rodgers came out of the game for one play and backup quarterback Graham Harrell came in — then tripped and fumbled as he tried to hand<br />
it off, allowing the Saints to get the ball back in the middle of a scrum.<br />
Brees then found Joseph Morgan wide open behind the defense, and Morgan shed tackling attempts from the Packers’ Sam Shields and Tramon<br />
Williams on his way to an 80-yard touchdown and a 24-21 lead with 3:49 left in the third quarter.<br />
Things then got even worse for the Packers, as Rodgers then threw an interception to Patrick Robinson on a deep throw intended for Nelson. Brees<br />
then <strong>com</strong>pleted a pair of third-and-long situations, and the Saints drove for a 27-yard field goal by Hartley to take a 27-21 lead with 13:04 remaining.<br />
With the Packers trailing by 6, Rodgers threw an 11-yard strike to Nelson as the Saints’ Corey White tried to wrap his arms around the ball at the<br />
same time as Nelson — briefly re-creating a scene eerily similar to the controversial game-ender in Seattle on Monday. This time, though, Nelson<br />
clearly came away with the ball and spiked it emphatically.<br />

INDIANAPOLIS -- Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers never saw this one <strong>com</strong>ing.<br />
Green Bay had an 18-point halftime lead and seemed to be in control Sunday afternoon.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, suddenly, Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne and the rest of the emotionally charged Colts turned things around on one of the league’s marquee<br />
franchises.<br />
Playing for an ailing coach Chuck Pagano, Luck rallied the Colts in the second half, throwing for a career-high 362 yards and a 4-yard TD pass to<br />
Wayne with 35 seconds to go, giving Indy a stunning 30-27 victory.<br />
Green Bay (2-3) faces an uphill climb in the NFC North.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re still struggling to find an offensive rhythm, though it looked as if they might break out of their funk in the first half when Rodgers was 11<br />
of 17 for 122 yards with two touchdown passes to take a 21-3 lead.<br />
But nothing worked in the second half.<br />
Mason Crosby missed a 52-yard field goal in the third quarter and a 51-yarder to the left with 3 seconds left in the game -- a kick that could have<br />
forced overtime.<br />
Rodgers finished 21 of 33 for 243 yards with three touchdowns, an interception and a big dose of frustration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Colts dominated the second half.<br />
Luck threw an 8-yard TD pass to Dwayne Allen and set up Adam Vinatieri for a 50-yard field goal to make it 21-13 midway through the third quarter.<br />
He then ran it in from 3 yards with 18 seconds left to go in the quarter to get the Colts within 21-19.<br />
A few minutes later, Vinatieri hit a 28-yard field goal to give Indy its first lead, 22-21.<br />
But Rodgers got Green Bay’s offense back in sync in a hurry.<br />
Alex Green ran 41 yards on the Packers’ first play, and Rodgers threw an 8-yard TD pass to James Jones on the next one to give the Packers a<br />
27-20 lead with 4:30 to go.<br />
All the Packers had to do was stop Luck one more time to clinch it.<br />
Luck and Wayne wouldn’t allow it.<br />

HOUSTON — Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers finally put it all together.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reigning MVP set a career high and tied a franchise record with six touchdown passes and the Packers played their best game so far this<br />
season, beating previously unbeaten Houston 42-24 on Sunday night.<br />
Jordy Nelson caught three touchdown passes and James Jones had two, including a beautiful, diving one-hander in the fourth quarter for the<br />
Packers (3-3). Tom Crabtree had the other, a 48-yarder that Rodgers threw just before taking a hit from Texans’ outside linebacker Brooks Reed.<br />
Rodgers <strong>com</strong>pleted 24 of 37 passes for 338 yards. He tied Matt Flynn’s franchise record for TD passes in a game, set in last year’s regular-season<br />
finale against Detroit with Rodgers resting on the sideline in advance of the playoffs.<br />
Arian Foster scored two touchdowns, but ran for only 29 yards for the Texans (5-1).<br />
Houston defensive end J.J. Watt sacked Rodgers, and fired up the fans by mimicking Rodgers’ “championship belt” pose after the play. Watt came<br />
into the game with 7½ sacks, just behind Green Bay’s Clay Matthews, who led the league with eight.<br />
That didn’t faze Rodgers, who eluded a rush from Connor Barwin and <strong>com</strong>pleted a 24-yard pass to Randall Cobb, who had seven catches for 102<br />
yards. Jones made a diving, fingertip catch in the end zone just before the end of the first quarter for a 14-0 lead.<br />
Foster finished a five-minute drive with a short touchdown run, but the Packers had a quick answer. Rodgers found Nelson with a 21-yard touchdown<br />
to cap a smooth drive that took less than four minutes.<br />
Rodgers <strong>com</strong>pleted 15 of 21 passes for 187 yards and was only sacked once in the first half. He connected with six receivers, and didn’t miss<br />
Greg Jennings, who sat out again with a groin injury.<br />
Trailing 28-10, Texans rookie receiver Keshawn Martin made two first-down catches late in the third quarter and Foster scored again. Cobb<br />
returned the ensuing kickoff to the Packers’ 43, and Rodgers went back to work. On third down, he scrambled to his right and threw to Crabtree, who<br />
was wide open and waltzed into the end zone to give the Packers a 35-17 lead.<br />
Sam Shields intercepted Schaub and fans started filing for the exits, with more than 14 minutes remaining.<br />

GREEN BAY 30, ST. LOUIS 20<br />
ST. LOUIS — Aaron Rodgers never worried about topping himself. A second straight turnover-free performance on the road witnessed by thousands<br />
of cheeseheads was perfectly satisfying.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Green Bay Packers’ quarterback threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns in a 30-20 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. A week<br />
earlier, the numbers were a lot gaudier when he tied the franchise record with six touchdown passes and no picks.<br />
Rodgers set a couple firsts anyway, reaching 150 touchdown passes with the fewest interceptions in <strong>NFL</strong> history. Rodgers has thrown 42 interceptions,<br />
beating the record set by Dan Marino with 150 TDs and 69 picks.<br />
He hit 81.1 percent of his passes, going 30 for 37 to set a single-game franchise record with a minimum of 35 attempts. <strong>The</strong> Packers were a<br />
season-best 9-for-15 on third-down conversions.<br />
Randall Cobb caught two touchdown passes and Jordy Nelson had eight receptions for a season-best 122 yards and a TD for the Packers (4-3),<br />
who handed the Rams (3-4) their first home loss. Rodgers was sacked three times in the first half, but got the ball out a lot quicker the rest of the<br />
way and was 30 for 37 for 342 yards.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers’ depleted defense clamped down on Sam Bradford, too, allowing 342 yards, but limiting the damage. Rookie Casey Hayward made<br />
his first start in place of injured Sam Shields and intercepted his fourth pass in three games.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers, who were 15-1 last season, are above .500 for the first time after alternating losses and wins the first six weeks. A week earlier, they<br />
ended the Texans’ unbeaten start.<br />
After dominating in time of possession in the first half, holding the ball for more than 18 minutes, the Rams ran just seven plays in the third quarter<br />
and were held to minus-7 yards while the Packers had 129 yards and 11:39 in time of possession.<br />
Nelson wrapped up his second straight 100-yard game early in the third quarter, often picking on rookie cornerback Janoris Jenkins. Cobb threw<br />
a nice fake on Jenkins in the end zone on a 5-yard catch that put the Packers up 17-6 midway through the third, capping a 12-play, 80-yard drive to<br />
open the half that lasted nearly seven minutes.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. — After three tough weeks on the road, the Green Bay Packers were finally supposed to have it easy. <strong>The</strong>y were at Lambeau<br />
Field, their offense was clicking and, best of all, they had the Jacksonville Jaguars, the <strong>NFL</strong>’s worst team.<br />
So much for that.<br />
Looking flat and out of sync much of the afternoon Sunday, the Packers needed another score from special teams, a 4-yard touchdown pass from<br />
Aaron Rodgers to Donald Driver in the fourth quarter and a makeup field goal by Mason Crosby to hold off the Jaguars in a 24-15 win.<br />
It was the third straight win for the Packers (5-3) and their 16th in their last 17 games at Lambeau.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers were without their two best receivers, with Jordy Nelson joining Greg Jennings on the inactive list with a hamstring injury. Charles<br />
Woodson also was on the sidelines, with a broken collarbone.<br />
But the Packers are better equipped than most teams to over<strong>com</strong>e injuries, particularly now that Randall Cobb has emerged to join James Jones<br />
as a big-play threat.<br />
Still clinging to a 14-12 lead after Crosby’s 32-yard field goal attempt bonked off the upright with less than two minutes left in the third quarter,<br />
the Packers finally found their rhythm on a seven-play, 52-yard drive that ended with Rodgers’ TD pass to Driver.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Jaguars marched to the Green Bay 12, only to stall on back-to-back in<strong>com</strong>pletions by Blaine Gabbert. Josh Scobee kicked his third field goal<br />
of the day, but then booted the kickoff out of bounds, giving the Packers the ball at their own 40 with less than 7 minutes left.<br />
A quick three-and-out gave the Jaguars the ball back with a chance to make things interesting. After Gabbert’s first two passes to Justin Blackmon<br />
from midfield fell in<strong>com</strong>plete, they finally connected on the third try for a 6-yard gain. <strong>The</strong>y went for it on fourth down, but the only player who got<br />
near the ball was Green Bay cornerback Tramon Williams.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers padded their lead with 28 seconds left on Crosby’s 25-yard field goal, set up by a 38-yard pass interference call on Jaguars cornerback<br />
William Middleton four plays earlier.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis.— <strong>The</strong> Green Bay Packers had a powerful incentive to beat the Arizona Cardinals.<br />
Packers coach Mike McCarthy gave his banged-up team the whole week off after the Packers beat Arizona 31-17 Sunday. Less than a minute after<br />
Arizona kicked a 20-yard field goal to pare what had been a 17-point lead to a touchdown, Tom Crabtree chugged 72 yards for a late third-quarter<br />
score that sealed the victory.<br />
Green Bay (6-3) takes a four-game winning streak into the bye, which it desperately needs. Greg Jennings, Charles Woodson and Cedric Benson<br />
headline a laundry list of injured Packers, and three more got hurt against Arizona. Clay Matthews tweaked his hamstring, Bryan Bulaga hurt his hip<br />
and Jordy Nelson, who missed last week’s game and much of practice this week with a bad hamstring, injured his ankle.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers are second in the NFC North behind Chicago, with five of their last seven games against division opponents.<br />
Criticized all year for their anemic efforts on the ground, the Packers broke free for 176 yards, their most since gaining 202 against Cleveland<br />
on Oct. 25, 2009. Four players — Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, James Starks and Alex Green — had 25-plus yards rushing, the first time that’s<br />
happened since 2003.<br />
All that running must have left them tired, however, because the Packers came out sluggish in the second half. <strong>The</strong>y failed to pick up a first down<br />
on any of their first four drives, and got only a 33-yard field goal from Mason Crosby despite getting the ball at their own 48, Arizona’s 17 and midfield.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cardinals caught a break when LaRod Stephens-Howling was tripped up behind the line of scrimmage only to land on a Packer instead of<br />
the ground. He got up and kept going for a 5-yard gain, and the ruling was upheld on review because officials said only his wrist had hit the ground.<br />
On the next play, Larry Fitzgerald shook off tackles by Tramon Williams, M.D. Jennings and Dezman Moses for a 31-yard touchdown that cut<br />
Green Bay’s lead to 24-14.<br />
With Matthews in the locker room with a hamstring injury, John Skelton went 7 of 9 as he moved the Cardinals 74 yards to the Green Bay 2. But<br />
Stephens-Howling was stuffed on third-and-1, forcing Arizona to settle for a 20-yard field goal that cut the lead to 24-17.<br />
Two plays later Crabtree caught the ball at the Green Bay 45 and rumbled up field, glancing over his shoulder to make sure Paris Lenon and<br />
William Gay weren’t going to catch him.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y didn’t — barely — and Crabtree tumbled into the end zone.<br />

DETROIT (AP) — M.D. Jennings caught the deflected pass, and there was no doubt about this interception.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n it was simply a matter of how far he could return it.<br />
Jennings went 72 yards to the end zone in the third quarter, and Packers went on to beat the Detroit Lions 24-20 Sunday, moving a step closer<br />
to solidifying their playoff chances in the NFC.<br />
It was Jennings who had both hands on the ball in the end zone at the end of a game at Seattle earlier this season, but replacement officials ruled<br />
simultaneous possession by him and receiver Golden Tate, giving the Seahawks the winning touchdown.<br />
Green Bay (7-3) has won six of seven since then, including five in a row. <strong>The</strong> Lions took back the lead after Jennings’ touchdown, but they<br />
couldn’t hold on. Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes on the day, including a 22-yarder to Randall Cobb with 1:55 left that gave the Packers<br />
a 21-20 lead.<br />
Mason Crosby added a 39-yard field goal with 19 seconds to go after missing two kicks earlier in the game.<br />
Detroit (4-6) has dropped two in a row and remains in last place in the NFC North. <strong>The</strong> Packers moved to a half-game behind first-place Chicago<br />
in the division. <strong>The</strong> Bears play at San Francisco on Monday night.<br />
Calvin Johnson caught five passes for 143 yards and a touchdown for the Lions, but nobody else emerged as a consistent receiving threat. Matthew<br />
Stafford went 17 of 39 for 266 yards with two interceptions. His pass in the third quarter toward Tony Scheffler was high and behind the tight end,<br />
deflecting off his hands before being picked off by Jennings and returned for a touchdown.<br />
Rodgers was 19 of 27 for 236 yards with two TDs, the first of which was a 20-yard connection with wide-open Jermichael Finley early in the second<br />
quarter to give Green Bay its first lead at 7-3. He also threw an interception.<br />

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- <strong>The</strong> Packers’ five-game winning streak came to an end as Eli Manning threw three touchdowns and the Giants routed<br />
Green Bay 38-10 in a nationally televised game Sunday night.<br />
Coming on the heels of last season’s loss in the playoffs, it was the Packers’ second straight lopsided loss to New York (7-4) and this one seemed<br />
worse than the 37-20 setback. It also left them a game behind Chicago (8-3) in the NFC North.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Giants dominated in all phases on a night that Manning set a franchise record with his 200th career touchdown pass.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 38 points were the most given up by Green Bay this season and it came in a game in which Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times and hit at<br />
least as many times.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers were missing such key starters as linebacker Clay Matthews, defensive back Charles Woodson and receiver Greg Jennings, and it<br />
showed.<br />
New York struck early with a brilliantly conceived screen pass to Ahmad Bradshaw off a fake reverse to Victor Cruz. Bradshaw sped down the field<br />
before being caught at the Green Bay 2, a 59-yard pickup that led to Andre Brown’s scoring run.<br />
Brown later broke his leg; Giants head coach Tom Coughlin did not say which leg after the game.<br />
Green Bay didn’t flinch, with Jordy Nelson getting behind Corey Webster in single coverage down the right sideline for a 61-yard TD reception<br />
from Rodgers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> scoring flurry went back in the Giants’ favor -- and pretty much stayed there -- when Manning hit Rueben Randle in the back of the end zone for<br />
a 16-yard TD. It was the first score for the rookie and Manning’s first touchdown throw in four games, and he set it up with, of all things, a scramble<br />
in which he laid his shoulder into Packers cornerback Tramon Williams for a 13-yard gain.<br />
Webster’s interception led to Lawrence Tynes’ 43-yard field goal late in the first quarter for a 17-7 lead, and the Giants weren’t nearly done.<br />
Manning’s 9-yard connection with Cruz tied him for the club record with 199 career TD passes, and after Osi Umenyiora’s strip-sack of Rodgers was<br />
recovered by Jason Pierre-Paul at the Green Bay 23, Bradshaw scored from the 13.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If any more Green Bay receivers go down, the Packers could always use Morgan Burnett.<br />
With Minnesota rolling behind Adrian Peterson, the Green Bay safety picked off Christian Ponder twice in the red zone in the second half. Mason<br />
Crosby converted the miscues into a pair of field goals, James Starks gave Green Bay its first touchdown on the ground in almost two months and<br />
the Packers overcame Peterson’s monster day for a 23-14 win.<br />
<strong>The</strong> victory was Green Bay’s 10th straight over an NFC North opponent and gave the Packers (8-4) a share of the division lead after Chicago lost<br />
to Seattle in overtime. <strong>The</strong> Packers and Bears play at Soldier Field on Dec. 16.<br />
Peterson finished with 210 yards rushing, the most he’s had since blowing out his ACL and MCL last December. That included a career-long<br />
82-yard touchdown that gave Minnesota a 14-10 lead at halftime.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers didn’t panic despite injuries to Jordy Nelson (hamstring) and T.J. Lang (ankle) leaving the offense scrambling and Peterson almost<br />
single-handedly wiping out Green Bay’s early 10-0 lead. He put the Vikings in great position to pad that lead, ripping off a 48-yarder on the first play<br />
of the second half that gave Minnesota the ball at the Green Bay 12.<br />
But two plays later, Ponder got flushed out of the pocket. Rather than take the sack or run out of bounds, he heaved the ball into the end zone -<br />
and right into Burnett’s hands.<br />
Aaron Rodgers overthrew Jarrett Boykin in the end zone on third-and-7 from the 29, and the Packers looked as if they were going to go for it.<br />
But after a Minnesota timeout, Mike McCarthy sent out Crosby, who had missed six of his last 11, including one from 53 yards just before the half.<br />
This one was good, however, the kick going through the uprights for a 47-yard field goal.<br />
Rodgers was picked off on a trick play, but the Packers defense bailed him out, stuffing Peterson for no gain on third-and-1. A tipped Chris Kluwe<br />
punt gave the Packers the ball at their own 49 and, four plays later, Starks bolted 22 yards for the score and Green Bay’s first lead since the second<br />
quarter.<br />
It was Green Bay’s first rushing touchdown since Oct. 7.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers ground out an 11-minute drive before Crosby sealed the win with his third field goal of the day, a 31-yarder. Rodgers made three<br />
big third-down conversions to keep the drive alive, running for one and finding Greg Jennings (8 yards) and Randall Cobb (33 yards) on the others.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. — While other teams face <strong>com</strong>plicated playoff scenarios and confusing tiebreakers, the task is quite simple for the Green Bay<br />
Packers.<br />
Beat the Bears at Soldier Field next weekend and the NFC North title is theirs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers opened a one-game lead over Chicago with their 27-20 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday night. <strong>The</strong> Bears had lost at Minnesota<br />
a few hours earlier, ceding control of the division to a team that began the year 2-3.<br />
Calvin Johnson had 118 yards receiving to put him over 1,500 for the year, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Lions (4-9) from dropping their fifth<br />
straight. After touchdowns on their first two drives gave them a 14-0 lead, the Lions crossed midfield six times but could only manage a pair of field<br />
goals by Jason Hanson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> season’s first significant storm dumped almost 3.5 inches of snow on Green Bay, making Lambeau Field look like a snow globe for most of<br />
the night and the football glisten with moisture. As Matthew Stafford drew his arm back to throw midway through the second quarter and with the<br />
Lions up 14-0, the ball slipped out of his hands.<br />
And Packers rookie Mike Daniels was right there to scoop it up, rumbling 43 yards for the score that pulled Green Bay within 14-10. He became<br />
Green Bay’s first rookie defensive lineman to return a fumble for a TD since 1941.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers forced another turnover on the next drive when Sam Shields picked off Stafford. But they couldn’t do anything with the ball, and<br />
went into halftime still trailing.<br />
Aaron Rodgers gave the Packers their first lead of the day, scrambling away from Lions defensive end Willie Young and running 27 yards for the<br />
score. It was the longest scoring run of Rodgers’ career, and also was Green Bay’s longest rushing touchdown of the season.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lions tied it at 17 on Hanson’s 46-yard field goal. But the Packers got another boost from a most unlikely source: their running game.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y used all three of their running backs — Alex Green, recent returnee Ryan Grant and DuJuan Harris — and picked up at least two yards on<br />
each play. <strong>The</strong>y had double-digit gains on three carries, including Harris’ 14-yard scoring run.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lions pulled within a score on Hanson’s 34-yard field goal with 7 seconds left. But the onside kick went out of bounds, and the countdown<br />
to the Packers-Bears game was on.<br />

CHICAGO — <strong>The</strong> Green Bay Packers delivered the ultimate <strong>com</strong>eback to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, a 21-13 victory that gave Green Bay its<br />
second straight NFC North title and put a serious dent in Chicago’s playoff hopes. Aaron Rodgers connected with James Jones on all three touchdowns,<br />
and Clay Matthews continued his dominance of Jay Cutler with two more sacks as the Packers won their sixth straight against their archrivals.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers are assured of a home playoff game and, at 10-4, are still in the running for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.<br />
Brandon Marshall scored Chicago’s only touchdown, but finished with 56 yards on six catches, his fewest totals in a month. Cutler had another<br />
dismal day against the Packers, throwing an interception that led to the game-winning touchdown. He’s been picked off 17 times by the Packers,<br />
including 10 in his last five games.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bears managed only 67 yards the entire second half, and Alshon Jeffery was whistled for offensive pass interference three times — yes,<br />
three — in the final 16 minutes of the game.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers piled almost 400 yards on Lance Briggs and his buddies, and turned a 7-0 deficit into a 14-7 lead over the last 4:19 of the second<br />
quarter thanks to a pair of Rodgers-to-Jones TDs sandwiched around a Casey Hayward pick.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers made it 21 unanswered points on the first drive of the second half. In another third-and-long situation, Rodgers threw in<strong>com</strong>plete<br />
to Jermichael Finley.<br />
But Green Bay got a second chance when Chris Conte was called for pass interference. After a delay of game penalty, Rodgers found Jones for<br />
a 6-yard score.<br />
It was Jones’ first three-touchdown game and the fourth multiple-TD game of his career.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bears had chances to get back into it. Green Bay’s Mason Crosby missed two more field goals, and Charles Tillman forced a fumble by Ryan<br />
Grant that Nick Roach recovered. Chicago got a big break on the next play when Green Bay safety Morgan Burnett hauled Alshon Jeffery down right<br />
in front of the end zone — and right in front of an official. <strong>The</strong> pass interference penalty gave Chicago the ball at the Green Bay 1.<br />
But the Bears could only get a 34-yard field goal by Olindo Mare out of it after the first of Jeffery’s pass interference penalties.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. — <strong>The</strong> Green Bay Packers sure look ready for the playoffs.<br />
Aaron Rodgers threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, Ryan Grant scored twice and the Green Bay defense picked on Jake Locker early<br />
and often in a 55-7 rout of the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.<br />
It was the most points scored by the Packers since they put up the same number against Tampa Bay on Oct. 2, 1983, and their largest margin of<br />
victory since a 52-3 win over New Orleans on Oct. 9, 2005.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers (11-4) moved up to the No. 2 seed with Seattle’s victory over San Francisco. Green Bay finishes the regular season next Sunday at<br />
Minnesota, and a victory would give the Packers a first-round bye.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Packers have been one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s best teams over the past two months, winning nine of 10 games. But they haven’t always been at their<br />
best against inferior teams, struggling to put away the likes of the Jaguars, Cardinals and Lions.<br />
That wasn’t the case against Tennessee. Far from it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Titans had one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s stingiest defenses since giving up 51 points to Chicago on Nov. 4, allowing an average of 17.6 points to their<br />
past five opponents.<br />
But Rodgers and the Green Bay offense may as well have been playing the Madden <strong>NFL</strong> video game for as easily as they piled up the yardage<br />
and the scores on the Titans.<br />
Green Bay scored on nine of its first 12 drives — one of those misses was the end of the first half — and was six of seven in the red zone.<br />
Rodgers finished 27 of 38, and matched his season high with 342 yards passing despite sitting for most of the fourth quarter. He connected with<br />
Randall Cobb (20 yards), Greg Jennings (1) and James Jones (12) for touchdowns, and also ran 6 yards for Green Bay’s first score.<br />
Cobb had another big day, breaking Ahman Green’s single-season franchise record for net yardage the first time he touched the ball. He finished<br />
with 101 yards and has 2,342 for the year, 92 more than Green in 2003.<br />
Green Bay’s defense, meanwhile, made life miserable for Locker and the Titans.<br />
Tennessee managed to cross midfield just three times during the game, and only avoided the shutout on Kenny Britt’s 2-yard catch with 1:39 left.<br />

MINNEAPOLIS – Back and forth they went, Adrian Peterson and Aaron Rodgers going at each other with so much on the line. <strong>The</strong> emotional<br />
pendulum swung wildly in one of the most memorable games of this long and bitter rivalry.<br />
It was a game so good that it deserves a rematch. And that’s just what it will get.<br />
Peterson rushed for 199 yards to be<strong>com</strong>e the seventh player to surpass 2,000 in a season and scored two touchdowns to help the Minnesota<br />
Vikings to a 37-34 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday that sets up a playoff rematch next weekend.<br />
Christian Ponder threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns in the best game of his young career and Blair Walsh kicked a 29-yard field goal as<br />
time expired for the Vikings (10-6), who won the last four games of the regular season to squeak in as the final NFC wild card. Peterson finished with<br />
2,097 yards in his remarkable <strong>com</strong>eback season, just nine yards shy of breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season record set back in 1984.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two teams will meet again at Lambeau Field on Saturday night because the Packers (11-5) once again couldn’t find a way to stop Peterson. He<br />
needed 102 yards to join the 2,000-yard club and 208 to surpass Dickerson <strong>com</strong>ing into the game. After rushing for 210 yards at Lambeau on Dec. 2,<br />
Peterson plowed through the Packers again on the one-year anniversary of surgery to repair two torn ligaments in his left knee.<br />
Rodgers <strong>com</strong>pleted 28 of 40 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns, over<strong>com</strong>ing a slow start to bring the Packers roaring back into the game.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Vikings jumped out to a 13-0 lead early in the second quarter, with Peterson scoring from seven yards out and Walsh kicking a 54-yard field<br />
goal and a 37-yarder to get the Metrodome crowd rocking. Peterson went over 2,000 yards with a 20-yard burst in the third quarter, getting serenaded<br />
with chants of “MVP!” along the way.<br />
But Rodgers isn’t ready to give up his crown just yet. He hit Greg Jennings and James Jones for touchdown passes in the third quarter and Mason<br />
Crosby’s second field goal of the game tied it at 27 early in the fourth quarter to set up the wild finish.<br />
Ponder squeezed a 3-yard TD just past Packers safety M.D. Jennings’ diving reach to Michael Jenkins in the fourth before Rodgers hooked up with<br />
Jordy Nelson for a 2-yard score with 2:54 to play. Peterson took over from there, ripping off a 26-yard run to put Walsh in position for the game winner.<br />

2012 Season: One of four non-drafted rookie free agents to make the<br />
club’s opening-day roster in 2012. Appeared in the first 11 games on special<br />
teams, before entering at RT in place of an injured T.J. Lang (ankle) in<br />
Week 13...Made his first career start at RT the following week with Lang<br />
still sidelined by the injury.<br />
vs. San Francisco 49ers (9/9): Made his <strong>NFL</strong> debut, appearing on special<br />
teams as a member of the kickoff return unit.<br />
vs. Chicago Bears (9/13): Played in the game on special teams, appearing<br />
on both the kickoff return unit and as part of the placement protection...<br />
Had a role in the game’s most memorable play, a fake FG attempt late in<br />
the second quarter...On the play, he pulled from the left side of the line of<br />
scrimmage, serving as a lead blocker for TE Tom Crabtree who was on the<br />
receiving end of a shovel pass from P Tim Masthay...Led Crabtree through<br />
the hole before helping C/G Evan Dietrich-Smith drive S Chris Conte well<br />
away from the play and allowing Crabtree a clear path to the end zone for<br />
a 27-yard TD that put Green Bay ahead 10-0.<br />
at Seattle Seahawks (9/24) - at New York Giants (11/25): Played in each game<br />
on special teams.<br />
vs. Minnesota Vikings (12/2): Saw the first scrimmage action of his career<br />
when he came on in relief of the injured Lang (ankle) to man the RT position<br />
in the second quarter...Played the remainder of the game, a total of<br />
50 plays, matched regularly against talented DE Brian Robison...Helped<br />
protect for an offense that produced points on three of its five second-half<br />
possessions (two FGs, one TD) and racked up 213 yards over the final<br />
two quarters.<br />
vs. Detroit Lions (12/9): Made the first start of his career, opening the<br />
game at RT...Played all 53 offensive plays and helped block for a rushing<br />
attack that reeled off 140 yards on 25 plays (5.6 avg.) and a season-high<br />
two rushing TDs...Had a hand in each of the unit’s two rushing TDs, first<br />
pinning DE Willie Young to the inside on QB Aaron Rodgers’ 27-yard TD<br />
scramble on the opening drive of the second half...Later moved out to the<br />
second level and blocked down on LB Stephen Tulloch to help create the<br />
wide lane used by RB DuJuan Harris on a 14-yard TD early in the fourth<br />
quarter.<br />
at Chicago Bears (12/16): Stayed at RT with Lang returning to the lineup at<br />
his familiar LG position...Helped protect Rodgers to the tune of 23-of-36<br />
passing for 291 yards and three TDs...Spent much of the day matched<br />
against DE Corey Wootton...Had a good set against Wootton on Rodgers’<br />
29-yard TD pass to WR James Jones in the second quarter.<br />
vs. Tennessee Titans (12/23): Started at RT for what was the offense’s<br />
most productive outing of the regular season...Helped block for a unit<br />
that produced a season-high 460 yards from scrimmage that led to nine<br />
scoring drives, including a season-best seven TDs in addition to two FGs...<br />
Provided consistent time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 27-of-38 attempts for<br />
342 yards and three TDs with no INTs...<strong>The</strong> OL allowed just one sack and<br />
blocked for a ground game that surpassed the 100-yard mark for the fifth<br />
consecutive week and scored four rushing TDs.<br />
at Minnesota Vikings (12/30): Met the challenge of starting his first game<br />
in the Metrodome as part of an OL that allowed Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete<br />
28-of-40 attempts for a season-high 365 yards and four TDs on the day...<br />
Pushed explosive DE Everson Griffen past the pocket, allowing Rodgers to<br />
roll to his right and find WR Greg Jennings for a 5-yard TD in the second<br />
quarter...<strong>The</strong> offense overcame a slow start to piece together six scoring<br />
drives (four TDs, two FGs) over the final three quarters, posting a 34-point<br />
output that was the most by Green Bay at MInnesota since 2004.<br />

play, a 27-yard TD off of a shovel pass on a fake field goal late in the<br />
second quarter...On the play, lined up at his normal position on the left end<br />
of the line of scrimmage...At the snap, turned to the inside of the formation<br />
to collect the pass from P Tim Masthay, before cutting up the field through<br />
the right side of the line behind a series of blocks from C/G Evan Dietrich-<br />
Smith, G/T Don Barclay and T Bryan Bulaga and racing untouched into the<br />
end zone...<strong>The</strong> play converted a fourth-and-26 from the 27-yard line and<br />

ran through an attempted jam by S Glover Quin, while the Texans rushed<br />
seven defenders at QB Aaron Rodgers...Turned to see Rodgers throw a<br />

make arguably the game’s most impactful play...Was on the receiving end<br />
of a 72-yard TD pass from Rodgers to extend the Packers’ lead to 31-17<br />
on the final play of the third quarter, thwarting what was beginning to look<br />
like an Arizona <strong>com</strong>eback...On the play, lined up in the backfield in front<br />
of Rodgers who took the snap from the shotgun...Emerged through the<br />
line as if he was lead blocking for RB Alex Green, freezing LB Paris Lenon,<br />
who he then passed on a seam route, entering into a secondary void of<br />
defenders...Caught a perfect throw from Rodgers at the 43-yard line and<br />
outran the rest of the defense to the end zone for what was a career-long<br />
72-yard catch, the longest pass play by the Packers through nine games<br />
of the 2012 season...Play marked the longest TD reception by a Green Bay<br />
TE since Paul Coffman’s 78-yard catch at Miami on Oct. 28, 1979, and<br />

of 53 yards...Also had a hand in the game’s most memorable play, a fake<br />
FG late in the second quarter that resulted in a 27-yard TD pass from P Tim<br />
Masthay to TE Tom Crabtree...On the fake, released out to the left side of<br />
the field mocking a potential pass pattern...Drew CB Charles Tillman away<br />

to a field position battle that the Packers won by more than 260 yards<br />
during the game (579-316).<br />
at Detroit Lions (11/18): Had yet another difficult day, pulling FG attempts of<br />
50 and 38 yards wide to the left, both of which would have tied the game’s<br />
score in the second and fourth quarters, respectively...Recovered to make<br />

lead to 24-20, and forcing Detroit to attempt a desperation TD drive in the<br />
waning moments.<br />

cap the team’s third possession of the game early in the second quarter...<br />
On the play, went from the right side of the line into the middle of the<br />
field, beneath C Jeff Saturday, G Josh Sitton and RB James Starks, who<br />
had released into the right flat on a screen play...<strong>The</strong> screen caused LBs<br />
DeAndre Levy and Stephen Tulloch to vacate the middle, leaving Finley by<br />
himself to make the catch at the 15-yard line and race the rest of the way,<br />
diving through defenders near the goal line for the score...Later added his<br />

late in the fourth quarter...Long gain came on a second-and-10 from the<br />

upfield...Received a pair of blocks from both Cobb and Nelson, while<br />

INT.<br />
vs. Minnesota Vikings (12/2): Tied for the team lead with six catches for 60<br />
yards (10.0 avg.), his highest reception total since the season opener vs.<br />

Made both receptions on the opening drive of the second half that ended<br />
with a 27-yard TD run by Rodgers...On Rodgers’ TD play, drew LB Justin<br />
Durant with him in coverage along the right sideline, attracting the LB far<br />
enough away to help create the alley used by Rodgers to run up the field<br />
into the end zone.<br />
at Chicago Bears (12/16): Had another productive game, tying for second<br />
on the team with five catches for 61 yards (12.2 avg.)...Made clutch<br />
catches on key downs during the game, including an 8-yard play on a<br />

on a third-and-2 on the opening drive of the second half (that ultimately<br />
resulted in a TD pass)...Also drew a pass interference penalty against S<br />
Chris Conte on a third-and-long in the second quarter...<strong>The</strong> call resulted in<br />
a first-and=goal for the Packers at the Chicago 1-yard line and they would<br />
take advantage moments later on a TD pass from Rodgers to WR James<br />
Jones...Later made his long catch of the game, a 31-yard play that saw<br />
him beat LB Lance Briggs down the seam and absorb a hit from S Major<br />
Wright, gaining an extra 12 yards to get the Packers into field-goal range<br />
in the fourth quarter.<br />
vs. Tennessee Titans (12/23): Continued his second-half momentum, making<br />
five catches for a season-high 70 yards (14.0 avg.)...Four of his five<br />
catches went for first downs.<br />
at Minnesota Vikings (12/30): Tied for the team lead with a season-high<br />
eight catches, also posting a season-best 72 yards (9.0 avg.)...Made his<br />
fourth catch of the game and 57th of the season just before halftime,<br />
breaking Paul Coffman’s (56 - 1979) franchise record for catches by a TE<br />
in a season...<strong>The</strong> eight catches were his most in a game since he had nine<br />
at Chicago, Sept. 27, 2010...Long gain was an acrobatic 20-yard catch<br />
along the Packers sideline in the fourth quarter, advancing a third-and-21<br />
into a fourth-and-1 that the offense would convert on the following play...<br />
Also threw a strong downfield block on CB Chris Cook following a short<br />
reception along the sideline by Jones...<strong>The</strong> play sprung Jones all the way<br />
up the field for a 30-yard gain.<br />

this point in his career...Has set career highs in each of the major statistical<br />
categories, including his 64 catches and 784 yards (12.3 avg.) and his<br />

season’s first six games since Billy Howton had eight in 1956...First TD<br />
came late in the first quarter when he dragged across the field in front<br />
of S Danieal Manning, diving to make the 6-yard catch in the end zone to<br />

of an offsides free play and running a streak into the end zone...In<br />

the ball into his body for the 32-yard score...Also made a key block on<br />

offense’s four possessions with TDs over an unanswered span between<br />
the second and third quarters, cashing in each time with scoring catches<br />
from Rodgers that turned a 7-0 deficit into a 21-7 lead...First TD came with<br />

practice week and even though he did dress for the game, it was only as<br />

games played (including playoffs) dating back to Week 5 of 2010.<br />
at Chicago Bears (12/16): Returned to action following the injury that held<br />
him out the previous week, and also returned to his more familiar LG position<br />

Rodgers <strong>com</strong>plete 27-of-38 attempts for 342 yards and three TDs...Also<br />

than 100 rushing yards as the Packers churned out 117 yards and four<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (12/30): Battled inside for an offense that overcame a<br />
slow start to produce 405 yards and six scoring drives (four TD, two FG)<br />

52 Clay Matthews, LB, 4th Year, Southern California<br />
2012 Season: All-Pro defender who was in the conversation for the<br />
league’s defensive player of the year award before suffering a hamstring<br />
injury in Week 9 that sidelined him for Weeks 11-14...Prior to the injury,<br />
had enjoyed the healthiest training camp and early season of his career,<br />
participating in every practice, starting in the summer...Returned to the<br />
ROLB position in 2012 after spending the 2010-11 seasons at LOLB...<br />
For the season, started all 12 games in which he appeared and posted<br />
59 tackles (45 solo), a team-leading 13 sacks, a forced fumble and four<br />
passes defensed.<br />
vs. San Francisco 49ers (9/9): Made a wel<strong>com</strong>ed return to the ROLB position<br />
he last played in 2009, finishing the season opener with four tackles<br />
(three solo) and 2½ sacks...Beat LT Joe Staley twice for sacks of QB Alex<br />
Smith during the game, the seventh multi-sack outing of his career and<br />
his most in a game since the three he had vs. Buffalo on Sept. 19, 2010.<br />
vs. Chicago Bears (9/13): Had one of the most dominant outings of his<br />
career, finishing with seven tackles (six solo) and a career-high 3½ sacks<br />
and a pass defensed against the rival Bears...Combined with his efforts in<br />
Week 1, the six sacks matched his personal best for the most sacks in a<br />
two-game span in his career (also had six in Weeks 1-2 of 2010)...<strong>The</strong> 3½<br />
sacks were the most in a game by a Green Bay defender since DE Kabeer<br />
Gbaja-Biamila had four at Chicago on Jan. 2, 2005, and the yardage total<br />
(29) was the second-highest of his career and helped result in a net passing<br />
total of 74 yards...Contributions led a defense that limited the Bears<br />
to just 168 total yards during the game, the fewest surrendered by the<br />
Packers in the rivalry game since Nov. 30, 1975.<br />

TD of the game...Lined up in various positions during the game and surged<br />
through the middle of the line of scrimmage in the third quarter to drop QB<br />
Drew Brees for a 10-yard loss, his seventh sack of the season...<strong>The</strong> sack<br />
gave him 36½ for his career, moving him past Tony Bennett and into the<br />
No. 6 spot in franchise history in his fourth season.<br />
at Indianapolis Colts (10/7): Appeared on an exhausting 96 plays, finishing<br />
with three tackles (two solo), a sack that included a forced fumble and<br />
five QB hits...Sack came in the second quarter when he beat LT Anthony<br />
Costanzo around the edge and hit QB Andrew Luck before he released the<br />
ball, forcing a fumble that carromed all the way out of bounds, resulting<br />
in a third-and-12 and a subsequent punt...Later ran a stunt with DE Mike<br />
Neal, tying up both LG Jeff Linkenbach and Costanzo, allowing Neal to turn<br />
the corner on the outside to drop Luck for a 9-yard loss.<br />
at Houston Texans (10/14): Did not trigger the sack column but was a menace<br />
in the run game and was a key part of a front that limited Pro Bowl RB<br />
Arian Foster to a career-low 1.7-yard average (min. 15 att.) on 17 carries<br />
for 29 yards...Had back-to-back plays to thwart a drive in the first quarter,<br />
first beating LT Duane Brown to trip up Foster for a 1-yard loss in the<br />
backfield and then exploding between C and LG to force QB Matt Schaub<br />
into a throwaway on third down that forced a punt.<br />
at St. Louis Rams (10/21): Finished with four tackles (two solo), a sack and<br />
a pass defensed...Sack was his ninth of the season and came in the third<br />
quarter when he used an outside rush to fight past LT Joe Barksdale to<br />
chase down a rolling QB Sam Bradford, dropping him for a 9-yard loss.<br />
vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (10/28): Posted four tackles (all solo), including<br />
one for loss while also netting three QB hits and a pass defensed...Drew<br />
a holding call on LT Eugene Monroe in the first quarter that forced and<br />
third-and-18...Later shed TE Marcedes Lewis on a toss play to his side and<br />
buried RB Rashad Jennings for a 2-yard loss.<br />

at Chicago Bears (12/16): Participated in practice throughout the week<br />
and made his anticipated return to the lineup on gameday...Started<br />
and saw action on 48 defensive plays, making his presence felt almost<br />
immediately with the kind of impactful performance the defense missed<br />
in his absence...Finished with seven tackles (all solo), two sacks and a<br />
pass defensed...Made both of his sacks on stunts through the middle<br />
of the Bears’ protection unit, the first of which came on the first play of<br />
the second quarter when he crossed with DE Mike Neal and dropped QB<br />
Jay Cutler for a 7-yard loss...Executed almost the same technique in the<br />
fourth quarter, this time twisting with DT B.J. Raji and bursting through<br />
a space between C and LG, nabbing Cutler again for minus-7...<strong>The</strong> first<br />
sack was his 10th of the season and gave him double digits for the third<br />
time in his career, putting him behind only DEs Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and<br />
Reggie White (four) for the most 10-sack seasons in team history...Also<br />
was active in the run game, twice tackling RB Matt Forté behind the line of<br />
scrimmage for losses.<br />
vs. Tennessee Titans (12/23): Helped lead an excellent defensive effort,<br />
finishing with three tackles and a sack as part of a unit that held the Titans<br />
to just 180 total yards and 10 first downs during the game...Lined up over<br />
the ball to the inside of the formation on Tennessee’s first third down of the<br />
game...Played a containment technique designed to keep athletic QB Jake<br />
Locker in the pocket, spying the QB as he stepped up to run and dropping<br />
him at the line of scrimmage for a zero-yard sack, forcing a punt...Also<br />
keyed a run defense that limited standout RB Chris Johnson to just 28<br />
yards on 11 carries (2.5 avg.)...Another of his tackles came when he fought<br />
off of a block to nail Johnson for a 3-yard loss late in the first quarter.<br />
at Minnesota Vikings (12/30): Posted a season-high and career-high-tying<br />
nine tackles (five solo) and a sack...Sack came on the first play of the<br />

7-yard loss.<br />

2012 Season: One of four non-drafted free agent rookies to make the<br />
opening-day roster in 2012, following an offseason program and training<br />
camp that saw him make the transition from collegiate DE to a stand-up<br />
OLB at the pro level...Was pressed into starting duty following a seasonending<br />
wrist injury to LB Nick Perry and a hamstring injury that sidelined<br />
LB Clay Matthews in Week 11...Played in each of the 16 games, with six<br />
starts, and posted 39 tackles (14 solo), four sacks and a forced fumble...<br />
Also had five stops on the various coverage units and scored his first<br />

Week 8, be<strong>com</strong>ing the first Packer to score on a blocked punt since S Tiger<br />
Greene on Dec. 2, 1990.<br />

teams, and tied for the team lead with two coverage tackles, both <strong>com</strong>ing<br />
in punt coverage.<br />
vs. New Orleans Saints (9/30): Played on both defense and special teams,<br />
and was credited with one tackle on the coverage units...Tackle came on<br />
a controversial fourth-quarter kickoff return by RB Darren Sproles...It<br />
appeared Moses jarred the ball loose and recovered the fumble on the play,<br />
but the ruling on the field was that the runner was down and the Saints<br />
retained possession.<br />
at Indianapolis Colts (10/7): Saw five plays on defense and finished with<br />
an assisted tackle...Also played on special teams but did not record any<br />
statistics.<br />

a FG attempt.<br />
vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (10/28): Scored his first career TD after recovering a<br />
blocked punt in the end zone in the second quarter...<strong>The</strong> punt was blocked<br />
by CB Davon House and after the ball was bobbled by several players,<br />

to return a blocked punt for a TD...Also saw eight snaps on defense and<br />
finished with an assisted tackle.<br />

hits...Also recorded a stop on special teams.<br />
at Detroit Lions (11/18): Started in place of the injured Matthews at ROLB<br />
and appeared on a season-high 56 plays...Finished with three tackles<br />
(one solo), four QB hits, a sack and the first forced fumble of his career...<br />
Was credited with his second sack of the season for a play that came just<br />
before halftime...On the play, he abandoned an upfield rush as QB Matthew<br />
Stafford stepped up in the pocket to scramble...Slapped the ball from the<br />
QB’s low carriage, forcing a fumble that was recovered by DE Mike Daniels<br />
and ultimately resulted in a FG for Green Bay on the last play of the half...<br />
Also drew a holding call on T Riley Reiff in the fourth quarter on a play that<br />
saw him still manage to fight off the block and drop RB Mikel Leshoure<br />
for a 2-yard loss.<br />
at New York Giants (11/25): Once again started in place of the injured<br />
Matthews, appearing on all 65 defensive plays...Recorded a team-leading<br />
11 tackles (six solo), including the defense’s lone sack, a 6-yard takedown<br />

Walden and also spelling Matthews, who was being acclimated back to<br />

5-yard loss.<br />
vs. Tennessee Titans (12/23): Started the game at LOLB after Walden<br />
missed parts of the practice week with an ankle injury...Finished with one<br />

a 3-yard loss.<br />

week...Eventually gave way to Walden and appeared on just 13 plays, finishing<br />
with one assisted tackle.<br />
96 Mike Neal, DE, 3rd Year, Purdue<br />
2012 Season: Powerful, athletic defensive end and inside pass rusher<br />
who figures prominently up front in the team’s sub defenses...Missed the<br />
first four regular-season games while serving a suspension for violation<br />
of the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy...Since <strong>com</strong>ing off<br />
of the suspension, appeared in 11 games, posting 17 tackles (10 solo)<br />
and 4½ sacks, the second-highest total on the team behind only LB Clay<br />
Matthews...Suffered a shoulder injury in Week 13 vs. Minnesota (Dec. 2)<br />
that forced him to miss the team’s Week 14 contest vs. Detroit.<br />
at Indianapolis Colts (10/7): Made his awaited 2012 debut in his home<br />
state after going through a week of practice and being activated the day<br />
before the game...Flashed the play-making ability that made him a promising<br />
prospect when healthy his rookie season, appearing on 32 plays and<br />
recording a sack and three QB hits during the game...<strong>The</strong> sack came on a<br />
stunt with Matthews in the second quarter, when he went around the outside<br />
and corraled QB Andrew Luck for a 9-yard loss, moving Indianapolis<br />
from Green Bay’s 26-yard line back to the 35 where an ultimate 53-yard<br />
FG attempt was unsuccessful...Sack was the second of his career and first<br />

week and was credited with a pressure.<br />
vs. Minnesota Vikings (12/2): Saw extended action with starting DE C.J.<br />
Wilson sidelined with a knee injury and participated on 30 defensive<br />
plays...Had an active game that saw him post two assisted tackles, three<br />
pressures and a QB hit...One of his pressures came early in the third quarter<br />

to the right side...Chased the QB toward the sideline, forcing a cross-body<br />
throw into the end zone that was intercepted by S Morgan Burnett.<br />
vs. Detroit Lions (12/9): Missed the practice week following a shoulder<br />
injury suffered vs. Minnesota and was inactive for the game.<br />

loss...Later added the half-sack on the Bears’ final drive when as part of a<br />
three-man rush, he broke away from T Gabe Carimi and teamed with DE<br />
Jerel Worthy to drop Cutler for a 9-yard loss.<br />
vs. Tennessee Titans (12/23): Had yet another productive outing, playing<br />
extensively in the absence of both Wilson and Worthy (hamstring) and<br />
finishing with two tackles and another sack...Sack came in the third quarter
when he dropped QB Jake Locker for a 7-yard loss on a third-down play,<br />
forcing a punt.<br />
at Minnesota Vikings (12/30): Started his first career game, opening at RDE<br />
with Wilson <strong>com</strong>ing off of injury...Saw action on 22 plays and finished with<br />
one assisted tackle, a QB hit and a pressure.<br />
87 Jordy Nelson, WR, 5th Year, Kansas State<br />
2012 Season: Fifth-year wideout who battled injuries but remained at<br />
the forefront of the team’s arsenal when healthy in 2012 after posting<br />
career highs in every receiving category (catching 68 passes for 1,263<br />
yards and 15 TDs) in 2011...For the season, played in 12 games with 10<br />

season-high eight catches and 93 yards receiving (11.6 avg), along with<br />
his first TD of the young season...TD came in the fourth quarter when he<br />

get into the end zone.<br />
at Indianapolis Colts (10/7): Recorded two catches for 29 yards (14.5 avg.).<br />
at Houston Texans (10/14): Had a near-dominant performance in primetime,<br />

a game-high 121 yards (13.4 avg.)...Marked his second three-TD outing<br />
over the past seven games (also vs. Detroit, 1/1/12), be<strong>com</strong>ing the first<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> player to ac<strong>com</strong>plish the feat since WR Santana Moss in 2005-06<br />
with Washington and the first Packer to do so since WR Sterling Sharpe in<br />
1994...First TD opened the game’s scoring on the Packers first drive when<br />
he beat CB Johnathan Joseph down the right sideline for a 41-yard score...<br />
Scored again on a first-and-10 from the Texans’ 21-yard line when he was<br />
matched in single coverage against DB Alan Ball, first faking to the outside<br />
before turning into the post where he caught a dart from Rodgers just<br />
inside the goal line, absorbing a hit from Ball to finish the play...Final TD<br />
capped a 16-play, 80-yard drive by the Packers to open the second half...<br />

week, finishing the game with eight catches for a season-high<br />
122 yards (15.3 avg.) and a TD...Saw his season-long catch <strong>com</strong>e in the<br />
first quarter on what was a defensive-offsides free play, when he beat<br />
CB Janoris Jenkins on a go-route down the right sideline for 52 yards...<br />
Finished the drive two plays later by hauling in a back-shoulder fade from<br />
Rodgers for a 3-yard TD, putting the Packers ahead 7-3...Five of his eight<br />
catches converted third downs as Rodgers continued to look his way to<br />
keep the chains moving during the game.<br />
vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (10/28): Suffered a hamstring injury during the<br />
practice week and was listed as a gameday inactive...Marked the first<br />

his consecutive games played streak (including playoffs) snapped at 53.<br />
vs. Arizona Cardinals (11/4): Returned to action and started the game...Went<br />

at Detroit Lions (11/18): Participated during the practice week following<br />
the team’s Week 10 bye and was active on gameday, starting at WR and<br />
finishing with three catches for 45 yards (15.0 avg.)...Also made a key<br />
block along the sideline on TE Jermichael Finley’s 40-yard catch-and-run<br />
late in the fourth quarter...Pushed CB Chris Houston into S Ricardo Silva,<br />
effectively wiping out two players and freeing Finley down the sideline for<br />
a play that kick-started the team’s game-winning TD drive.<br />
at New York Giants (11/25): Had one of the team’s lone highlights in an<br />
otherwise forgettable game, scoring on a 61-yard TD pass from Rodgers<br />
on the offense’s fourth play from scrimmage in the first quarter...On the<br />
play, beat CB Corey Webster on a stop-and-go double-move down the right<br />

highlighted by his season-long 73-yard catch in the third quarter...On the<br />
play, raced past CB Marcus Sherels on a vertical route after lining up as<br />
the middle WR in a trips formation to the right side...Caught the ball over<br />
his shoulder on the plus side of midfield and ran the rest of the way before<br />
behind pushed out of bounds by CB A.J. Jefferson at the Vikings’ 8-yard<br />
line, setting up a TD pass from Rodgers to Jones on the following play...<br />
Later drew a key pass interference penalty against CB A.J. Jefferson on<br />
a play near the goal line late in the fourth quarter, setting up the Packers<br />
with a first-and-goal from the 2, and he would score his TD on the following<br />
play...TD capped an 11-play, 78-yard drive, and saw him catch a<br />
2-yard back-shoulder throw from Rodgers, separating from Jefferson as<br />
he went to the ground to catch the ball, tying the score at 34-34 with 2:54<br />
remaining.<br />
74 Marshall Newhouse, T, 3rd Year, Texas Christian<br />
2012 Season: Second-year starter who settled in at LT and opened each<br />
of the team’s 16 games at the key position protecting QB Aaron Rodgers’<br />
blind side...Joined G Josh Sitton as the only two OL to start every game<br />
in 2012.<br />
vs. San Francisco 49ers (9/9): Opened the season as a starter for the first<br />
time in his career and afforded himself well at LT against a formidable right<br />
side of the San Francisco front seven...Matched against the standout LB/<br />
DE tandem of Aldon Smith and Justin Smith for much of the game, helping<br />
to limit the duo to four tackles and a sack (that came on a rollout outside<br />
the pocket) on 61 offensive plays.<br />
vs. Chicago Bears (9/13): Started and appeared on all 68 plays at LT...Also<br />
saw six snaps as part of the placement protection unit including the team’s<br />
second-quarter fake FG attempt that resulted in a 27-yard TD pass from P<br />
Tim Masthay to TE Tom Crabtree...On the play, went low off the snap and<br />
provided obstruction to both DE Julius Peppers and DE Corey Wootton,<br />
who were both unable to get to Crabtree as he crossed the formation to<br />
catch the shovel pass.<br />
at Seattle Seahawks (9/24): Overcame what was a rocky start for the<br />
offense with a bounce-back effort in the second half...Part of a line that<br />
helped produce three scoring drives after halftime and did not allow a sack<br />
over the final two quarters.<br />
vs. New Orleans Saints (9/30): Fared well in protection despite drawing the<br />
assignment of talented RDE Will Smith for the majority of the game...Part<br />
of a protection unit that did not allow a sack during the game and allowed<br />
Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 31-of-41 for 319 yards and four TDs...Offense<br />
accounted for 421 total yards and 30 first downs, the most by the Packers<br />
since 31 at Detroit on Nov. 12, 1989.<br />
at Indianapolis Colts (10/7): Part of an uneven performance by the offense<br />
that produced three TD drives in the first half, but stagnated after halftime<br />
and didn’t score again until there was 4:30 remaining in the fourth quar-
ter...Made a good block at the line of scrimmage on OLB Dwight Freeney<br />
on RB Alex Green’s 41-yard run in the fourth quarter, helping to create the<br />
wide lane used by Green to emerge into the second level.<br />
at Houston Texans (10/14): Part of an offense that turned in its best performance<br />
of the season to date, netting 427 total yards and six TD drives<br />
against what was the <strong>NFL</strong>’s No. 3-ranked defense entering the game...<br />
Helped create consistent time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 24-of-37 attempts<br />
for 338 yards and a career-high and franchise-record-tying six TD passes,<br />
while only being sacked twice by the Texans’ formidable pass rush...<br />
Yardage total was the most surrendered by Houston since Week 3 of 2011<br />
and a high for the Packers through six games...Drew a critical personal<br />
foul penalty against S Danieal Manning in the third quarter following a<br />
third down play...Manning was seen punching his facemask at the bottom<br />
of a pile and the flag resulted in an automatic first down at the Houston<br />
2-yard line...Green Bay would score a TD two plays later to extend its lead<br />
to 28-10 (following PAT).<br />
at St. Louis Rams (10/21): Spent much of the game matched against emerging<br />
DE Robert Quinn...Got off to a rocky start, but ultimately limited Quinn<br />
to just one tackle (a 4-yard sack) during the game...Overall, helped allow<br />
time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 30-of-37 attempts for 342 yards and three<br />
TDs, as the offense produced six scoring drives (three TDs, three FGs).<br />
vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (10/28): Started at LT on what was another challenging<br />
day for the offense...Both TD drives culminated with Rodgers<br />
passes, the second of which moved him past Bart Starr for the second<br />
most in franchise history (153).<br />
vs. Arizona Cardinals (11/4): Part of an OL that overcame an injury to RT<br />
Bryan Bulaga to still have a prolific outing against a Cardinals defense<br />
that ranked No. 6 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in yards allowed entering the game...Offense<br />
racked up 384 yards and produced five scoring drives (four TDs, one FG),<br />
led by Rodgers, who threw four TD passes and was only sacked once on<br />
the afternoon...Also helped support a ground game that totaled 176 yards<br />
on 39 rushing attempts (4.5 avg.), the most by the Packers since Oct. 25,<br />
2009, at Cleveland.<br />
at Detroit Lions (11/18): Started at LT and helped attempt to control a deep<br />
and talented Detroit front...Part of an offense that put together an impressive<br />
two-minute drive near the end of regulation that saw them span 82<br />
yards in six plays, capping it with a 22-yard TD pass from Rodgers to WR<br />
Randall Cobb...On the play, teamed with newly inserted LG Evan Dietrich-<br />
Smith to pick up a line stunt by DT Nick Fairley and DE Willie Young...<br />
Pushed Young past Rodgers, giving him enough time to <strong>com</strong>plete the<br />
throw and give Green Bay its the lead, 21-20.<br />
at New York Giants (11/25): Started at LT.<br />
vs. Minnesota Vikings (12/2): Faced the task of squaring off with standout<br />
DE Jared Allen for the majority of the game and held him mostly in check,<br />
as his lone full sack came on a play where he chased Rodgers across the<br />
field in the fourth quarter and ran him out of bounds for a 2-yard loss...<br />
Helped protect for an offense that churned out a season-high 435 yards<br />
on 73 plays (6.0 avg.), highlighted by a rushing attack that produced 152<br />
yards on 36 attempts (4.2 avg.).<br />
vs. Detroit Lions (12/9): Once again helped clear the way for a productive<br />
rushing offense that yielded 140 yards on 25 plays (5.6) and a seasonhigh<br />
two rushing TDs during the game...Was opposed regularly by DEs<br />
Lawrence Jackson and Kyle Vanden Bosch, who he helped hold to a <strong>com</strong>bined<br />
four tackles in the game’s official statistics.<br />
at Chicago Bears (12/16): Faced the challenge of being matched against<br />
the talented Peppers for most of the game, containing him just enough<br />
to allow the offense to post 391 total yards and three TD drives...Allowed<br />
consistent time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 23-of-36 attempts for 291 yards<br />
and three TDs...Had a good set against Peppers on Rodgers’ first TD pass,<br />
a 29-yard throw to WR James Jones in the second quarter that tied the<br />
score at 7-7.<br />
vs. Tennessee Titans (12/23): Part of a protection unit that helped the<br />
offense to its most prolific performance of the season, one that included<br />
a season-high 460 yards and nine scoring drives (seven TDs, two FGs),<br />
a 55-point output that was tied for the third-highest single game total in<br />
franchise history...Allowed consistent time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 27-of-<br />
38 for 342 passing yards and three TDs, while only being sacked one time<br />
and posting a 125.1 QB rating...<strong>The</strong> three passing TDs pushed Rodgers to<br />
80 over the last two seasons, a new franchise record.<br />
at Minnesota Vikings (12/30): Was again matched with the Pro Bowler Allen<br />
for most of the game, limiting the talented pass rusher to just one tackle,<br />
a sack that was not charged to him...Part of an OL that paved the way for<br />
405 total yards of offense and scored 34 points, the most by the team at<br />
the Metrodome since 2004...Allowed time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 28-of-<br />
40 for a season-high 365 yards and four TDs with no INTs.<br />
53 Nick Perry, LB, Rookie, Southern California<br />
2012 Season: Physically impressive rookie defender who made immediate<br />
contributions early in the season before suffering knee and wrist injuries,<br />
the latter of which ended his season...Drafted by the Packers with the<br />
No. 28 overall selection in the first round and was in the process of making<br />
the difficult transition from collegiate DE to professional OLB when his season<br />
was cut short and he was placed on injured reserve, Nov. 7...Appeared<br />
in the first six games, making five starts and collecting 29 tackles (18 solo)<br />
and two sacks...Suffered the wrist injury in Week 2 vs. Chicago and played<br />
through it before further evaluation dictated surgery...Also suffered a knee<br />
injury at Houston in Week 6 that held him out of action in Weeks 7-9 before<br />
the decision was made to shut him down because of the wrist.<br />
vs. San Francisco 49ers (9/9): Made his <strong>NFL</strong> debut as the starter at LOLB,<br />
and finished tied for second on the defense with a season-high nine tackles<br />
(seven solo).<br />
vs. Chicago Bears (9/13): Rotated with Erik Walden at LOLB, seeing action<br />
on 20 plays, but did not record any statistics.<br />
at Seattle Seahawks (9/24): Started at LOLB and tallied eight tackles (two<br />
solo) and his first career sack...Sack came in the third quarter when he<br />
fought past RT Breno Gia<strong>com</strong>ini and chased down QB Russell Wilson for<br />
a 19-yard loss...Forced a third-and-32 on a drive that ultimately ended<br />
with a punt.<br />
vs. New Orleans Saints (9/30): Started and played as part of a rotation with<br />
Walden, netting four tackles (all solo).<br />
at Indianapolis Colts (10/7): Did not start, but saw his snaps split almost<br />
evenly with Walden and finished with seven tackles (four solo) and a sack<br />
on the afternoon...Sack was bittersweet as he came free off the left side<br />
and delivered a jarring hit to QB Andrew Luck, knocking the ball loose on<br />
what was initially an 8-yard loss...<strong>The</strong> play was flagged as officials ruled<br />
that he led with the crown of his helmet on the hit and a 15-yard unneccessary<br />
roughness penalty was enforced, nullifying the fumble and lost<br />
yardage.<br />
at Houston Texans (10/14): Started at LOLB and appeared on 10 plays, making<br />
a solo tackle...Suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter and<br />
did not return.<br />
at St. Louis Rams (10/21): Missed the practice week due to the knee injury<br />

for others on defense...<strong>The</strong> first came on a third down int he first quarter<br />

to the right where he was ultimately sacked for a 9-yard loss by S Morgan<br />

Chris Johnson to just 28 yards on 11 carries (2.5 avg.)...Finished with one<br />

against the Vikings’ vaunted rushing attack, leading the defensive line<br />
with 59 plays and finishing with five solo tackles (including two for loss)<br />

Week 6 outing at Houston, when he threw for 338 yards and a career-high<br />
and franchise-record-tying six TD passes...Was also the NFC Offensive<br />
Player of the Month for October...Threw his 150th career TD pass in Week<br />

attempts for 303 yards and two TDs with one INT...Has now posted 300-<br />

vs. New Orleans Saints (9/30): Earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week<br />

the young season, a 421-yard output that resulted in four TD drives and<br />
a 28-27 win...Completed 31-of-41 for 319 yards and four TD passes for<br />
a unit that produced 30 first downs, the most by the Packers since they<br />
had 31 at Detroit on Nov. 12, 1989...Threw TD passes to James Jones (2),<br />

Drew a facemask penalty on S Malcolm Jenkins when the defender got his<br />
hand inside the QB’s helmet on a third-quarter scramble, poking him in<br />

4:30 remaining...Following a go-ahead scoring drive by the Colts, moved<br />
the offense 47 yards in four plays, setting up a game-tying 51-yard FG try<br />
by K Mason Crosby.<br />
at Houston Texans (10/14): Had one of the most remarkable passing performances<br />
of his prolific career, <strong>com</strong>pleting 24-of-37 attempts for 338<br />
yards and a career-high six TDs...Even more remarkable was that the effort<br />
came on the road in a charged environment against a Houston defense that<br />
ranked No. 3 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in yardage (275.6) and No. 4 in scoring defense<br />
(14.6 ppg.) entering the game...TD pass total tied the franchise record set<br />
by Matt Flynn in the 2011 season finale vs. Detroit (1/1/12) and he became<br />
just the fourth QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to throw for 330 yards, six TDs and no<br />
INTs in a game, joining Tom Brady, Mark Rypien and Y.A. Tittle...Started<br />
the offense fast with TDs on two of the team’s first three possessions in<br />
the first quarter, getting the Packers out to a 14-0 lead in the first frame...<br />
Found Nelson for three TDs during the game, the first of which was a perfectly<br />
placed 41-yard deep ball along the right sideline to cap the team’s<br />
opening drive of the game...Opened the second half with a methodical<br />
16-play, 80-yard TD drive that spanned 6:44 and ended with a 1-yard TD<br />
throw to Nelson on a corner route in the end zone and extended the lead to<br />
28-10...Also tossed a pair of TDs to Jones, joined WR Don Hutson (1943)<br />
as the only two players in franchise history to score two TDs in three consecutive<br />
games...Long play was a third-and-1 rollout on the second play<br />
of the fourth quarter when he courageously took a big hit from LB Brooks<br />
Reed, but was able to get the throw into the hands of a wide open TE Tom<br />
Crabtree, who ran untouched down the sideline for a 48-yard TD.<br />
at St. Louis Rams (10/21): Continued the momentum from his spectacular<br />
outing the previous week, <strong>com</strong>pleting 30-of-37 attempts for 342 yards and<br />
three TDs with no INTs...His 81.1 <strong>com</strong>pletion percentage was the second<br />
highest of his career and set a single-game franchise record among QBs<br />
with 35-plus attempts, while the three TDs gave him 16 between Weeks<br />
4-7, also a franchise record over a four-game regular-season stretch...<br />
Saw his two longest <strong>com</strong>pletions <strong>com</strong>e on a pair of defensive-offsides<br />
free plays, beginning with a 52-yard strike to Nelson that set up a TD in<br />
the first quarter, and later on a 39-yard TD to Cobb that effectively put the<br />
game away late in the fourth...Each of the team’s three TD drives spanned<br />
80 yards, highlighted by the 12-play march that took 6:56 off the clock to<br />
open the second half...Capped the drive by finding Cobb for a 5-yard TD<br />
in the back of the end zone, the 150th scoring throw of his career...With<br />
the TD, broke Dan Marino’s <strong>NFL</strong> record for the fewest number of INTs at<br />
the 150-TD mark (69-42)...Joined Marino (62) as just the second player<br />
in league history to reach the 150-TD mark in 80 or fewer games, doing<br />
so in his 76th.<br />
vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (10/28): Played his way through an admittedly<br />
choppy game that saw the offense struggle to find its rhythm...Completed<br />
22-of-35 attempts for 186 yards and two TDs, the second of which moved<br />
him past Bart Starr for second place all-time in franchise history (153)...<br />
<strong>The</strong> TD was a 4-yard strike to WR Donald Driver, giving him 21 TD passes<br />
for the season and making him the first player in <strong>NFL</strong> history to have<br />
20-plus TD passes in the first eight games in back-to-back seasons (24 in<br />
2011)...Also set the franchise record for the most TD passes over a fivegame<br />
span, having thrown 18 dating back to the team’s Week 4 contest<br />
vs. New Orleans.<br />
vs. Arizona Cardinals (11/4): Led what was the most balanced effort for the<br />
offense to this point in the season, <strong>com</strong>pleting 14-of-30 attempts for 218
yards and four TDs with one INT...With the four-TD outing, joined Marino,<br />
Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only QBs in <strong>NFL</strong> history to have<br />
10 or more games with four-plus TD passes in a three-season span...One<br />
of his most critical plays during the game came after he’d <strong>com</strong>pleted a<br />
handoff to RB James Starks in the second quarter...Starks gained 5 yards<br />
on the play, but had the ball stripped by LB Paris Lenon...Rodgers alertly<br />
followed the play and dove to recover the ball at the Green Bay 32-yard<br />
line...With the maintained possession, he hit Jones seven plays later for<br />
a 28-yard TD to give Green Bay a 21-7 advantage with just under two<br />
minutes to play in the first half...Saw his final TD pass <strong>com</strong>e on the last<br />
play of the third quarter when he executed a play-action fake to RB Alex<br />
Green and threw a perfect ball to Crabtree, who released on a seam route<br />
out of the backfield...Crabtree caught the ball at the Packers’ 43-yard line<br />
and went the rest of the way for a 72-yard TD, the team’s longest pass<br />
play through nine games...Also carried the ball eight times for 33 yards,<br />
including a season-long 25-yard scramble on the Packers’ first scoring<br />
drive in the first quarter.<br />
at Detroit Lions (11/18): Overcame an afternoon filled with pass-rush pressure<br />
and lack of rhythm to engineer a key game-winning TD drive that<br />
culminated with a 22-yard TD pass to Cobb with 1:55 remaining to give<br />
Green Bay the lead, 21-20...Finished the game having <strong>com</strong>pleted 19-of-27<br />
attempts for 236 yards, two TDs and an INT, good for a 106.4 QB rating...<br />
<strong>The</strong> rating was was his ninth consecutive of 100-plus in indoor games<br />
(including playoffs)...First TD pass came in the second quarter when he<br />
sold a developing screen play to right side and came back to the middle of<br />
the field in the face of pressure, finding Finley wide open near the 15-yard<br />
line, where he would make the catch and go the rest of the way for the<br />
score...<strong>The</strong> game-winner to Cobb capped a six-play, 82-yard scoring drive<br />
and came on a corner route to the left side of the end zone, where he lofted<br />
a perfect pass just before being hit by DE Willie Young.<br />
at New York Giants (11/25): Had one of the most challenging games of<br />
his prolific career as a starter, facing a dominant Giants’ pass rush that<br />
disrupted the pocket throughout the game...Finished having <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />
14-of-25 attempts for 219 yards with one TD and one INT...Hit Nelson<br />
for a 61-yard TD on the offense’s fourth play from scrimmage, perfectly<br />
executing a stop-and-go double-move to tie the game’s score 7-7...Had<br />
a difficult time from that point on, falling victim to five sacks and several<br />
other pressures up front that affected the unit’s rhythm and execution for<br />
the remainder of the game.<br />
vs. Minnesota Vikings (12/2): Directed a balanced offensive performance<br />
that saw the unit produce a season-high 435 yards on 73 plays (6.0 avg.),<br />
highlighted by an 18-play, 73-yard FG drive the burned 11 minutes off the<br />
clock in the fourth quarter...Drive was the longest he’d led in his career<br />
and cluminated with a 31-yard FG by Crosby that gave Green Bay a twopossession<br />
lead, 23-14, that was ultimately the game’s final score...Also<br />
challenged the Vikings with his cadence during the game, forcing various<br />
defensive offsides penalties, including one that resulted in a free play and<br />
led to his finding Jones for a 32-yard TD on the game’s opening possession...Finished<br />
having <strong>com</strong>pleted 27-of-35 attempts for 286 yards and a TD<br />
with one INT, posting a 98.0 QB rating.<br />
vs. Detroit Lions (12/9): Was forced to make the most of limited opportunities<br />
with the offense possessing the ball for a season-low 22:46 during<br />
the game...Directed a balanced offensive attack that was again headed<br />
by a running game that produced 140 yards and two TDs on 25 attempts<br />
(5.6 avg.), highlighted by his game-long 27-yard TD run on the opening<br />
drive of the second half...On the play, escaped a collapsing pocket and<br />
rolled out to the right side...Noticed TE Jermichael Finley along the sideline<br />
working against LB Justin Durant and the rest of the defense scattered<br />
across the field...Took advantage of a wide alley along that side and raced<br />
untouched into the end zone for the TD, giving Green Bay its first lead,<br />
17-14...Marked his first rushing TD of the season and the longest scoring<br />
run of his career...Also marked the longest TD run by a Packers QB<br />
since Favre’s 36-yarder at Chicago on Oct. 31, 1994, and was his longest<br />
run since another 27-yarder vs. Dallas in Week 9 of 2010...Was 14-of-24<br />
passing for 173 yards, snapping a franchise-record streak of 35 consecutive<br />
games with a TD pass at Lambeau Field, the longest at a single venue<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history.<br />
at Chicago Bears (12/16): Led an efficient offensive effort that helped clinch<br />
the franchise’s second division title in as many seasons in memorable<br />
fashion against its chief NFC North rival...Game marked the Packers’ sixth<br />
straight win over Chicago and 12th straight in the division, tied for the<br />
longest such streak in the league since realignment in 2002...Completed<br />
23-of-36 attempts for 291 yards and three TD passes with no INTs...<br />
Fired all three of his TD passes to Jones on a series of four possessions<br />
between the second and third quarters that turned a 7-0 deficit into a 21-7<br />
lead...Also used his instincts and athletic ability to avoid pocket pressure,<br />
extending plays and making a number of impressive throws on the move...<br />
Kick-started the team’s first scoring drive when he escaped the pocket<br />
on a third-and-6 and rolled to his right, firing a bullet to Cobb between<br />
three defenders near the sideline for a 31-yard gain...Three plays later he<br />
found Jones in single coverage against CB Kelvin Hayden and dropped in<br />
a perfect throw on a go-route that Jones ran in for a 29-yard TD...Later<br />
found Jones for 8- and 6-yard scores inside the red zone and also moved<br />
the team into position for two FG attempts during the game...<strong>The</strong> yardage<br />
mark for the game gave him 20,625 yards since taking over as the starter<br />

of the gate, only running six plays in the opening frame...Completed his<br />

placed ball over the WR’s shoulder that he caught in stride and advanced to<br />
the Vikings’ 8-yard line...Threw an 8-yard TD to Jones on the following play<br />
to bring the Packers to within 27-24...Later hit Nelson on a back-shoulder<br />

Green Bay since Nov. 2, 2003, at Minnesota.<br />
at Detroit Lions (11/18): Started against the powerful Lions interior defensive<br />
line...Helped create time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 19-of-27 for 236 yards<br />

remaining in regulation.<br />

a hole behind RG and go untouched for the score, capping a seven-play,<br />
59-yard drive, one that featured all running plays by the Packers’ offense.<br />

yards and three TDs...Contributed to the team’s long run of the afternoon<br />

transition to playing safety in the team’s base defense, while resuming his<br />
slot CB role in the various sub-packages...Suffered a broken collarbone at<br />
St. Louis in Week 7 that will sideline him for an extended period of time,<br />

quarter.<br />
at Houston Texans (10/14): Again saw action on all 62 defensive plays, finishing<br />

season average of 371.8 yards entering the game...Made significant contributions<br />
in run support, helping to hold RB Arian Foster to just 29 yards<br />
on 17 carries, a 1.7-yard average that was a career-low (min. 15 att.)...Also<br />

in for the last play of that series, but did not return for the Rams’ final<br />

the regular season.<br />

injury suffered the previous week, the first game he’s missed due to injury<br />
