More like a career-high 209 yards receiving for Green Bay's top receiver, including one long touchdown catch in crunch time.Aaron Rodgers threw for three scores, including an 80-yard strike to Nelson in the third quarter, and the Packers roared back from an 18-point deficit to win their home opener 31-24 on Sunday over the New York Jets.
Good morning Green Bay Packers fans! Who is ready for some football today? I am excited to watch the home opener and beat those New York Jets!On to the mailbag question of the week, “Who wins out Sunday, the Jets front seven or the Packers offensive line?” 30 (83%) of you voted for the Packers offensive line, one that hopefully will feature Bryan Bulaga on Sunday.
The other 17% (6 votes) voted in favor of a stout Jets front seven led by Muhammad Wilkerson and Defensive Rookie of the Year Sheldon Richardson.I honestly did not vote myself. I want the Packers offensive line to win out, and I trust most of them, but that is a tough front to face. Crossing my fingers for our boys.
Then, the Packers got the defensive break they desperately needed when Tramon Williams stepped in front of tight end Zach Sudfeld for an interception at the Packers 3."You never want to come out that flat, you never expect to come out that flat, but we did and we found a way to get through it," Williams said.
Rodgers followed with a 10-play, 97-yard drive in 1:44 that ended with a 6-yard score to Cobb to get the Packers within five at the half.Until then, it was second-year quarterback Smith who was having success. He connected with Decker for a 29-yard touchdown on a pretty tough pass over cornerback Shields for an early 14-0 lead. That score was set up by a 37-yard run by Kerley on a read-option pitch from Smith.
