Packers Clinch NFC North Title With Win At Detroit (AUDIO)

December 14, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers wrapped up their second straight NFC North Division title with Sunday’s 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.  The win also put the Packers in position to secure the top seed in the NFC, after the New Orleans Saints were upset  by the Philadelphia Eagles .  The Packers and Saints are tied for the top record in the conference at 10-3, but the Packers own the tiebreaker because of a week three win over the Saints in New Orleans.

Unlike last year, there’s no bye for the No. 2 seed this year, which is why the top seed in each conference is so important.  Only the top team in each league gets the opening week of the playoffs off.

Aaron Rodgers passed for 290 yards and three touchdowns, giving him 39 for the season, with a quarterback rating of 119.7.  Rodgers moved into fourth place in NFL history in games with three or more TD passes, with 73, passing former teammate Brett Favre.  He also passed and rushed for a touchdown in the same game for the 26th time in his career.

Packers beat Vikings in empty U.S. Bank Stadium

When the Green Bay Packers didn’t draft a wide receiver in the NFL Draft, many thought the Packers offense would be in trouble.  But a second year in Matt LaFleur’s system appears to be more important, at least after the first week of the new season.

Aaron Rodgers completed 32-of-44 for 364 yards and four touchdowns in the Packers 43-34 season opening win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.  Two of the four touchdown receptions were to the Packers number-one receiver, Davante Adams.  Adams was targeted 17 times and caught 14 passes, tying Don Hutson’s 1942 franchise record of 14 receptions in a single game.

Rodgers also tossed touchdown passes to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard, finishing with a quarterback rating of 127.5.  His four touchdown passes moved him past Eli Manning and into seventh place on the all-time list with 368.

It was a dominating offensive performance for the Packers, who racked up 522 total yards of offense in the win.  They [Read more…]

Down several players going into the game, the Green Bay Packers showed signs of starting to come out of their shell but had to settle for a pair of first half field goals.

The Chicago Bears actually took the lead early in the third quarter when outside linebacker Leonard Floyd recovered Aaron Rodgers fumble in the end zone for a touchdown and a 10-6 lead.

That’s when the Packers would kick things in gear.  Rodgers tossed three second half touchdown passes to lead Green Bay to a 26-10 come-from-behind win.

Rodgers completed 39 of 56 for 326 yards and three touchdowns, surpassing 300 yards for just the second time in the last 12 games.  The 39 completions is a new franchise record for Rodgers, surpassing the previous record of 36, which was held by Brett Favre. [Read more…]

Former kicker Ryan Longwell has informed the Green Bay Packers that he will retire a Packer.

Longwell is the all-time leading scorer in franchise history.  He scored 1,054 points during his 9-year career in Green Bay (1997-2005), connecting on 226 field goals and 376 extra points.  Longwell set a team record by leading the club in scoring in 9 consecutive seasons, topping the previous mark of seven by Don Hutson.

Longwell also holds franchise records for field goals (226), field-goal percentage (81.6), seasons leading the team in field goals (nine), extra points (376), 100-point seasons (eight) and consecutive games scoring (144).

Following his time with the Packers, Longwell spent six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and ranks No. 13 on the NFL’s all-time scoring list with 1,687 points.
