PACKER NATION: FOLLOWING THE PACK.
PRESENTED BY JOSH


Hello all, I have just recently started a new Connected Careers Mode on Madden NFL 13. I am currently in week four of the first season, after getting some sliders and what not I decided I am going to basically blog my journey as the Head Coach of Green Bay Packers. Playing as Mike McCarthy. I am using playmakers most recent sliders posted at: VirtualSportsNetwork.com (Please sign up to the forum today please and thank you). I can't promise much as when I make things to difficult on myself, I usually slack and give up like a lot of dynasty reports. So I will just update as I please. Maybe some in game highlights from time to time, who knows, who cares. One thing I can promise is that it won't be as sparkly as Albidnis' reports.

Thanks!

Just want to let everyone know I made a couple adjustments to the roster ratings: I brought down Mcnaab to a 70 OVR as he isn't in football and a return is doubtful. If you keep him as is he ALWAYS signs and starts in Minnesota. Also I lowered Nick Collins to an 80 OVR. After his injury he is unliely to return to football, and if he does he won't start off as a top 5 FS like he was. (Was rated a 90) I manually added Aqib Talib to the Patriots roster and have the correct depth chart set ups for RB's and QB's.

Preseason Week 1 in review, Packers lose Bishop plus key signings

The first week of the preseason has just ended and there has been much to say, but for us at Packer Nation, bad luck has begun to put the breaks on the train as of last night in our preseason showdown against the Chargers, we lost stud MLB Desmond Bishop for the entire season due to a Broken he suffered during a 3rd down pile up play. This is a big hit to the LB Core as rookie Nick Perry will be immediately be thrown into the mix. According to our sources, Nick Perry will be moved to the ILB spot where Bishop played over Brad Jones, who is being swapped to the ROLB position. Perry, a much bigger body and athlete than Jones should be more effective. This makes sense as Jones should be a more trust worthy LB to cover TE's and play coverage where as Perry can cover the HB and blitz more. Perry at 6'3 and 265 pounds puts him at the biggest LB on the team, even over Pro Bowler Clay Matthews.

The Packers looked pretty good against the Chargers despite giving up a 32-14 lead in the fourth quarter, ending in a 35-32 loss. The offense tallied up over three hundred yards of offense. Over one hundred of them coming from the ground which was a pleasant surprise. Cedric Benson took the brunt of the carries with twenty-one for fifty-eight yards. He did have a fumble in the 3rd quarter that luckily dribbled out of bounds. Jennings looked as his usual self piling up one hundred yards off of seven receptions, he was able to find the endzone. Nick Perry played exceptionally well, especially after Bishop was carted off the field where he was the busiest of the Packers D tallying up ten solo tackles and a sack. He was the tackle leader of the game.

In other news around the league; Garrard found a home in Cleveland, the Browns that is. Garrard, who is now thirty four and just getting off Arthoscopic surgery will be thrown into the quarterback mix in Cleveland. Pat Shurmur said after their post-game conference that "David and the rest of them all have a shot at the starting job come week one, we will play with the hot hand. This is not our way of benching Weeden, but we believe David can be of some competition for the starting job and if he can't take the job, it'll keep Weeden competitive as that is his nature. A little competition is something we need." David Garrard last started for the Jaguars in 2010 where he concluded the year with 2,734 yards and twenty-three touchdowns along with a Pro Bowl spot. He was then released and hadn't played since.

David Garrard isn't the only player getting another shot back in football, as the Arizona Cardinals signed veteran linebacker James Farrior to a one-year 4.2 million dollar deal. Farrior will immediately help bolster that LB core which is filled with inexperienced potential. Farrior will help guide the young guys such as Sam Acho, O'Brien Schofield and Daryl Washington. Farrior should get into the groove of their defense quickly as he will be familiar at the ILB position in a thirty-four defense. The move gives them a great leader on defense who should have a successful bout in 2012.

The Bears made a move signing FB Ovie Mughelli to a one-year deal for 2.6 million dollars. Forte is all smiles as he is "ecstatic that I got a big bruiser like Ovie who can do all the dirty work for me so I can get into the endzone cleanly."

DT Mike Patterson has also been traded by the Eagles to the St.Louis Rams for an undisclosed draft pick.
The Panthers looked into the veteran talent pool by acquiring Marcus Trufant off of the Seahawks today for an undisclosed draft pick.

More trades, signings, etc. Week 2 preseason in review

Chalk up another week in the NFL, week two has just been wrapped up and it was another exciting week in the NFL with trades, signings, triumphs and setbacks all around. The Packers once again suffered another setback on Sunday as cornerback Casey Hayward will be out after tearing his shoulder during Sundays action against the Browns. Hayward was the slot man for the Packer secondary, who was just drafted this year in the second round by Green Bay, that job will now be counted on Jarret Bush, the six year pro who has seen sufficient action with the Packers, Bush doesn't have the same Physical traits as the rest of the Packer secondary but he has good size and awareness. The injury isn't as terrible of a blow as the Desmond Bishop one will be but we as fans, have got to be annoyed of this injury bug that has been lingering in our locker room for the past two weeks. "I think it's time to call in Billy the exterminator" Donald Driver said jokingly during the post game conference. "But in all seriousness, it is frustrating seeing these guys go down, [Casey and Desmond] are our family, ya know? So when we lose guys to injury, we all feel it. Were a family like that."

We also know, Jeremy Shockey has found another home in the NFL, landing with the Indianapolis Colts to a one-year deal worth 2.5 million dollars. Shockey will provide a solid safety blanket for Andrew Luck, Luck was actually vocal in front office of the Colts organization expressing his feelings of Shockeys ability. "I really wanted to get Shockey on the team, he's a proven TE who I think will be able to take a lot of pressure off of me at times. He's reliable and that is something I value in a receiver. So when I talked to Chuck Pagano at the possibility of getting him signed, he immediately talked to the guys upstairs and made it happen." The Colts now have depth at TE with Rookie Coby Fleener who is a physical sensation along with the veteran Jeremy Shockey. I think we can expect a busy workload for these two TE's this upcoming season.

Outstanding performances were of the norm this week it seemed, Christian Ponder lit it up in preseason action throwing 5 TD's in a big win last night. In addition, Tony Romo had a great outing, sporting a 143.2 QB rating and a win for the Cowboys. Reggie Bush also lit up the field with 3 TD runs along with a win for the Dolphins.

RT Khalif Barnes (Raiders) Torn Tricep - Out for 25 weeks *

Packers impress, Moss doesn't, gets cut by the 49ers. Week 3 action wrap up

A quiet and somber week for some in the NFL. Legendary WR Randy Moss has been highlighting the press stands across the nation as his short bout with the 49ers is already over. Twitter has blown up on this recent news. This just proves "that a player's time in the NFL is truly finite" (Mike Hill). The future first ballot hall of famer is now without a team, further giving reason to hang up the cleats and call it a career, but nothing short of terrific in my books. We have not got a hold of the wide receiver yet to get his response on the whole release and his future, but all signs are now pointing towards the exit. We can't really see another team taking a shot at Moss, especially with him being bounced around three teams in less than a year. Furthermore, Terrell Owens has yet to get his shot back in the NFL and a chance doesn't seem in the near future. I think it is safe to call an end to the Owen-Moss era entirely. But who knows, a desperate team may give one of them a shot or a playoff contender team who's star receiver takes a hit? These are possible scenarios that could spark another comeback. Hell, you can never root out Favre, right?

The Packers played terrific for a preseason game, routing the Bengals to a 29-22 victory, their first of the preseason. The defense were the stars of the night, putting Dalton and his backups on the ground five times. Nick Perry once again was the defensive player of the match, putting together a nine solo-tackle night along with a pair of sacks. Clay Matthews was not far behind with eight solo-tackles and a sack himself. So far the LB core has surprisingly played exceptionally well, making me start to wonder if there is much to worry about after the loss with Bishop. Perry has been a force at MLB, Clay Matthews is doing what he has always done, then A.J Hawk and Brad Jones have been showing up to play as we expected. The defense haven't committed as much turnovers thus far which is not what we are used to out of a Packer defense, but it's only preseason.

Jennings, Packers finish preseason strong in 45-38 win over Chiefs

What's the best thing about the end of week four in the preseason? The start of the ACTUAL season! For us Packer fans we have a little extra to be happy about, as we finished off the preseason on a positive note with a win over the Chiefs. Once again the defense was stout racking up six sacks. Guess who got half of them, I'll give you a hint, he's the rookie sensation the Packers drafted this season and he's been plastered on our news paper for the past month. Did you guess Nick Perry? Well then you are correct! Perry had another memorable performance as he went on for ten tackles, three sacks and was an adequate pass defender when called upon to do so. Aaron Rodgers and co. looked good as usual, Jennings being the man of the night for the receivers, compiling eight receptions for one hundred and thirty-seven yards and two touchdowns. If you haven't done your fantasy football draft yet, here are my three pieces of advice: draft Aaron Rodgers first, Greg Jennings second and then make sure you get the Packers defense. Nick Perry will get you atleast two points a week alone on that defense!!! We spoke to Mike McCarthy after the game about his thoughts on the teams performance and 2012 outlook, McCarthy had shone a lot of promise in his words, as he should seeing as the Packers are looking solid as a unit despite a couple hiccups thus far. "I think like any other game, there were positives and negatives for our team. But we got the win so it's an overall good game, and really, a good preseason overall. We aren't perfect but I know we got a great group of guys on this team that are hungry for the season."

Teams have had their fair share of success in the preseason, The Dolphins looked good with Tannehill behind center as they put together a perfect record in the preseason. They were one of only a few teams to do so. The Patriots,Vikings and Cowboys were the other three teams to go undefeated. But as we all know, especially the Lions, that preseason means absolutely nothing, go 4-0 in the preseason and you may find yourself looking down the barrel of a 0-16 record.

As week one action is about to begin, the Packers square off at home against the current NFC favourites, San Fransisco 49ers who boast the stingy defense and a quarterback who didn't turn the ball over once in the preseason. Yes, that is Alex Smith. Despite the Packers high powered offense and the emergence of a strong pass rush, the 49ers are still favoured in this one.
Score Prediction: 49ers defeat Packers 27-24.

Greg Jennings one-handed grab on a key third down play Sunday night.



What a week in the NFL, filled with highlights and upsets, the week opener was just about as memorable as any other. We saw injuries, upsets, triumphs and failures all week and couldn't get enough of it. To start things off, the Packers square off against the 49ers, which was widely considered the game to watch. And it was. The game was close the entire way through and there were four lead changes in total, as each team jockeyed to out do one another. The Packers had won the coin toss at home and elected to put Alex Smith and his offense on the field first. It didn't turn out so well for 49er fans as Tramon Williams picked off Alex Smith on the opening drive on a deep ball intended for Roy Williams. Quickly we saw the momentum shift the Packers way like we see so often when they are playing on home field, but we should have known better as the 49ers stingy defense forced Aaron Rodgers a three and out. The following drive the 49ers were able to drive into Packers redzone in a long drive that lasted eleven plays before being stalled. On a key third down, Alex Smith threw a bullet capitalized to Michael Crabtree in great coverage, Crabtree showed his mojo by hauling it in one handed. The 49ers were on top seven-zip. On the Packers next drive, they were able to march into 49ers territory but were immediately stalled by the punishing 49er defense. Crosby was good FG from fifty-two yards out, putting their first points on the board. Seven to three 49ers. On the 49ers very next drive, Alex Smith threw up yet another careless pass, that was completed..to Morgan Burnett.
 
:smug:
Aaron Rodgers and his crew couldn't do anything and were forced to punt after yet again, another three and out. Nick Perry was relatively quiet this game but was able to make a few key tackles in the game, one of them on the 49ers next drive putting them in 2nd and long. This would lead to another 49er punt. Finally the Packers put together a drive piloted by Aaron Rodgers (special thanks to the string of amazing catches) this would setup the Packers knocking on the 49ers doorstep where Jordy Nelson would then haul in the touchdown grab off a fade at the side of the endzone. The Packers would take their first lead of the game. Ten to Seven. The 49ers would continue to feel the Packers new defense as they would keep Andy Lee busy and Alex Smith off the field. Shortly after the 49ers would once again get possession back with just over one minute left in the half. This would be enough, Alex Smith would put together a drive that would only take three plays, that finished with a thirty-five yard deep strike to Roy Williams. This would put San Fran back on top 14-10 before half. But Rodgers does what he does best, with just forty-five seconds left, Rodgers wasted no time and hit Greg Jennings deep on the right of the field for a thirty nine yard pickup. Putting the Packers in kicking distance, but the 49er defense would put Aaron Rodgers down on an attempted screen, knocking them back out of fieldgoal range. Aaron Rodgers would take the next two plays to get back into field goal range and put Mason Crosby at once again, another field goal from fifty-plus. He would make it from fifty-six yards. Going into half the game seemed as how most people would have predicted. The 49ers being up, not by much, but in the lead.

The opening drive of the second half would see Aaron Rodgers first and was he on for quite some time. During a near eight minute drive we saw Aaron Rodgers convert on three straight clutch third downs. The second would be a pinpoint corner route to Jennings, and the third would be an eleven yard scramble for the first down after avoiding a near and sure sack. The scramble put them on the 49er doorstep once again, but the poor run game caught up to them, forcing them to kick a field goal on the 49ers five yard line. The Packers would take back the lead sixteen to fourteen. Defense was definitely the theme of the game, both sides showcased their defense whenever they could. The Packers started to bring the heat more and more and because of this, we would see Alex Smith being swallowed by green and gold often. That very play would put the 49ers in a long third and twenty on their own goalline. The very next play, Don Caper would continue the onslaught and send another heavy blitz that would crush Alex Smith and grant the Packers a safety. Putting them up eighteen to fourteen. Once again, we would see the tables turn back into the Packers favor and it wouldn't change. The Packers would not be able to do anything on the golden oppurtunity, largely because the O-Line was failing to create gaps for Benson to run through. Benson had six carries for one yard up to this point in the second half. But a beautiful punt by Tim Masthay would have the Packers D' licking their chops at another safety as he placed the perfect punt on the 49ers own one yard line. On the first play Brad Jones would go untouched around the edge and tackle Frank Gore for a loss for second safety. Twenty-Fourteen Packers late in the fourth quarter. The 49ers would have a final shot, it was the perfect scenario. Two minutes and four seconds left on their own twenty yard line, with three timeouts. Down by six, The 49ers would take the field, they were quickly off as Jim Haurbaugh would elect to PUNT on fourth and three with a minute and thirty-five seconds remaining. Sure, they had three timeouts but a first down by the Packers would end the game. The Packers would do exactly that, on a second and seven Cedric Benson would come up big with a seven yard pickup and run the clock. Packers shock 49er fans and start off the season 1-0. Green Bay will take on Chicago next week at home in hopes to go 2-0.

AROUND THE LEAGUE WEEK ONE
hi-res-137113992_display_image.jpg

Ed Reed has re-signed with the Ravens for an additional three seasons worth $24.0M


The NFL was filled with excited as we kicked off the season on Sunday, for sixteen teams, they are on track to where they want to go, the other sixteen teams find themselves back to the drawing board to figure out how to adjust to avoid the dreaded 0-2 start. Tom Brady and the Patriots were able to start the season off on the right foot, defeating Tennessee 27-17, Tom Brady threw his three hundredth and third touchdown pass of his career so far, putting him 5th all-time on the passing touchdown charts. But there is not all smiles in New England as they suffered a loss of their own, RB Stevan Ridley broke his thumb during Sundays action and will miss three weeks. Until then, Danny Woodhead will be called upon to take the majority of the carries until Stevan can get back on the field. The oustanding performances of the week defensively go to Lions Kyle Vanden Bosch who earned himself the NFC DPOW with his seven tackles, one sack, one interception for a touchdown, which helped carve a 37-17 victory over St. Louis. The AFC side goes to another underwhelming veteran; Paul Posluszny who played a terrific game despite falling short to Minnesota 37-30 on Sunday. Posluszny racked in seven tackles, and two interceptions. The offensive stars of the week went to two more notable players in the NFL; LeSean McCoy on the NFC side and Ben Roethlisberger on the NFC side. McCoy rushed for two hundred and seven yards of a mere fifteen carries for two scores on the ground. He also caught one for forty-one yards and a touchdown in their Sunday showdown win over Cleveland. Ben Roethlisberger looked like himself, 19-25 for three hundred and forty-five yards all while tossing up four big ones and just one interception in their big win over Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

Injuries plagued the NFL this week, as ten starters from various teams went down from injury, the Chargers took the biggest hit, losing their two starting LB's in Takeo Spikes and Antwan Barnes. Their defense is already wobbly as is, the two will be out for a combined thirty-two weeks! Barnes has been placed on IR and Spikes is expected to miss about two months of play, so his return may be too late as the Chargers could fall deep behind. The Raiders offensive line is in shambles, when they lost starting RT Khalif Barnes for the year, they lost starting RG Mike Brisiel for the season as well. If things couldn't have already gotten worse to a organization that is in the hot seat, they have these past few weeks. Look for the Raiders to sign someone to replace these two.

Lastly, contract negotiations have been floating around for awhile, and we know that Ray Rice signed a six-year deal for sixty-three million dollars with the Ravens to lock up his future. They also signed Ed Reeds likely final contract for three more seasons worth twenty-four million dollars. Jacksonville also locked up on of their assets known as Daryl Smith to a six year deal as well, worth fifty-two million dollars. There have been rumors surfacing about Greg Jennings and the Packers organization getting a deal done. Jennings is on his final year of his deal and will be a free agent come February if he does not re-sign.

QUICK ALERT
The Chicago Bears have just picked up DT Albert Haynesworth off free agency a few hours ago. League sources say they have been in talks with the ex-probowler for the past couple days. The signing comes largely in part of the injuries they have suffered at the DT spot this season, losing their two starting DT's, Amobi Okoye and Matt Toeaina to injury for the season. Albert Haynesworth has been hazardous to teams for the past few seasons due in large to his bad work ethic and attitude both on and off the field. He never panned out in a 3-4 system at Washington, luckily for him, Haynesworth will be playing in his preferred 4-3 defense with a great supporting cast with Julius Peppers who will be coming off of an injury shortly and Israel Idonije. Haynesworth will be starting alongside Stephen Paea, the 2nd year player from Oregon State who broke the Bench Press record at his combine during his draft two seasons ago. "I'm glad to be back in football, I want to show everyone I can still play. I want to show myself." an eager Haynesworth said over a phone interview. Haynesoworth will get his first action against division rivals Green Bay Packers, the best way to win the fans and the team over? Keep Aaron on the ground.

Matt Forte stretching out for the score but coming up just inches short of the touchdown.

Last night we saw a vintage Bears-Packers matchup that couldn’t have gotten much better in terms of a defensive twelve round fight. Each team landed their share of right hooks in this matchup but only one team, as always, was able to come out on top. Jay Cutler and his Bears opened up the game on offense first, On the first play of the drive Forte was able to break a twenty yard scamper, this was the start of Fortes big night. The Packer D started to buckle down and forced the Bears to settle for a Robbie Gould field-goal. Three-Nothing Bears. The Packers would look to match the Bears, and they did just that. Rodgers was able to get his team into scoring position despite going down three times on that drive. This would be the only action in the first quarter. The third would not see much more until Aaron Rodgers orchestrated a beautiful drive where he went six for six in the passing column, capping the drive off with a touchdown pass to rookie, Randall Cobb. The Packers would take their first lead of the game, seven minutes before halftime. Jay Cutler would then take their right hook, going on a five minute drive to travel seventy-five yards, the Packers D has shone life when backed up in the redzone and they did exactly that, but a tight bullet pass across the middle of the endzone to Brandon Marshall would tie the game up at ten a piece. With two minutes before half Aaron would do what he does, in those two minutes he put Mason Crosby in a risky field goal range, from sixty yards out! The field goal would fall short and the half would end. At this point Aaron Rodgers had completed thirteen-straight passes.

Packers would take the helm on offense following halftime but a Cedric Benson fumble at midfield would derail those plans. The very next play is very well the most incredible play ever witnessed. Linebacker Brad Jones on the Packers would then intercept a pitch intended for Matt Forte! By jumping the snap count along the edge and plucking the ball right out of the air before it reached Fortes hands. This would set Rodgers up to throw a beautiful sixty yard fade to Jordy Nelson to take a seventeen-ten lead with just over eight remaining in the third. Bears would march right down, but once again the Packer goalline defense would step up, this time Nick Perry getting a key sack on third down to force yet another Robbie Gould field goal. Packers still up 17-13. But on the Packers very next play, Rodgers would throw an errant pass right into the hands of Geno Hayes, marking his first interception on the season. With the Bears in great field position, they would drive to the Packer five, where they would yet again get sacked on third down forcing them to settle for yet another field goal! Seventeen to sxteen Packers still. Chicago would eventually get another shot, wasting no time by hitting Devin Hester on a deep corner route to put their foot in the doorstep on Greenbays one. Greenbay would put on another fierceful goalline stand!! At this point Jay Cutler was livid, and for good reason, but this would cost him as he failed to get the play off on third down and suffered an awful delay of game penalty putting them back to Greenbays eight. On third and eight they would run it would Forte who would have put Chicago on top if it weren’t for Charles Woodsons game saving tackle keeping him inches away from paydirt. Robbie Gould would take yet another fieldgoal, but this would put the bears in the lead nineteen to seventeen with just over six remaining in regulation. Greenbay offense will sputter and have to punt it right back to Cutler. Cutler wastes no time by gashing the Packer D with a quick toss to Forte out of the gun. This would lead to a third and eleven at Packers thirty-two. Packers will stop them and Bears commit another errant penalty pushing Robbie Gould back five yards, which is enough to make Robbie Goulds kick sail just far left enough to miss! With a minute and a half remaining the Packers offense will see the field again, Nelson makes a spectacular one handed catch in triple coverage around his own players for a twenty yard gain and knocking on Chicago’s side. Just outside of range Rodgers will run for four yards and then hit Cobb on the next play for another ten followed by a screen. A thirty two yard fieldgoal will win them the game, and as time expires they do just that and Packers edge out in yet another historic rivalry game to take the win twenty to nineteen.

GREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTE
Packers go toe-to-toe against the Seahawks, Greg Jennings future in GB solidified, stars return from injury


Another NFC slug fest for the Packers against the Seattle Seahawks resulted in another memorable game to look back on, Rodgers, not so much as he would throw two interceptions this game. The Packers would see the field first, a rare run that broke out was unfortunately called back. But a key third down to Nelson would keep them on the first, but not for long as their second third down conversion would not be successful. Greenbays defense would welcome Russell Wilson to the NFL by a textbook strip sack done by AJ Hawk. Wilson would begin to think twice about roaming out of the pocket next time. That wasn’t the only greeting, LeRoy Hill would then welcome Rodgers to Seattle by picking him off, pass intended for Jermichael Finley. The Seattle offense wouldn’t do much and would punt the ball right back. Seattles defense would continue to match Greenbays by putting Rodgers on the ground. Greenbay would put the first points on the board after a Rodgers to Nelson reception for forty yards followed by a two yard quick hitter to Finley in the endzone. Seven-zip for the Pack. Seattle would continue to struggle to move the chains, thankfully Aaron Rodgers would give the ball away, throwing yet another pick. This would put Seattle on the Packer doorstep with a minute and a half remaining in the half. But the Seahawks would only be able to mustard up a field goal after that golden opportunity. Seven-Three Packers at half.

The Seahawks would take the field in the second half starting on their own twenty-three. Russell Wilson begins to command his team downfield, eating up precious time. But as we’ve seen week in and week out, the Packers would prevent them from getting a single yard from inside their own three yard line. Seattle would settle for another three putting the game at seven to six Packs still with six and a half remaining in the third. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers would continue to struggle to get anything going, they punt it back to Seattle. On their third play of the drive a slant to Edwards on busted coverage would go all the way for fifty-nine yards and six points to take the lead finally, and go up fourteen to seven. At the start of the fourth quarter the Packers get into Seattle territory on their thirty-eight. Aaron Rodgers will quickly strive downfield but a clamp down on Seattles side sees Aaron Rodgers at a third and eleven on Seattle’s eleven yard line. Rodgers hits Jordy in coverage for a TD off of a post route. Game is all squared at fourteen a piece with eleven remaining in the fourth. On Seattles very first play Marshawn Lynch would go untouched for eighty big ones and a touchdown. Breaking the hearts of Packers fans. But it got worse, on the Packers ensuing drive, LeRoy Hill would once again greet Rodgers, but this time saying goodbye. LeRoy would pick off a Jermichael Finley intended pass putting Rodgers total at three for the night. The Defense would give Rodgers the ball back with six minutes left. But a miss on a wide open Nelson along with a sack on third down, would force Tim Masthay to punt the back right back to Seattle with three and a half remaining. But Greenbays defense would come up huge, On the first three plays DE CJ Wilson would put Russell Wilson down on the ground back to back. On a third and long Sam Shields would come up huge, picking off a Russell Wilson throw, returning it to Seattle’s half with just under two remaining. On the first play Rodgers would find Nelson for twenty-one yards. But a couple good stops by Seattle would put Green Bay at a third and eight, Rodgers would run for those eight, getting the first down but just a yard shy of the endzone. The next play the Packers would hand the ball off to John Kuhn to tie the game up late in the game with just one minute left.
Seattle would attempt to go for the win but things would backfire as the Packers would force a really quick three and out, getting the ball back at about midfield with thirty-seven seconds remaining and three timeouts. A catch by Driver and an errant facemask by Seattles secondary would put them in easy scoring range. Crosby would be good from thirty-six yards out as he kicks the game winner as time expires. Packers win twenty-four to twenty-one. (3-0)
