Packers rally to beat Bengals in OT

“I tried to get as much as I could, but it’s unfortunate in that situation the way we were moving the ball, the way we were driving down”, Dalton said. Aaron Rodgers came into today having beaten every other team in the National Football League other than the Cincinnati Bengals.

To make matters worse, the Bengals have been home through the first two games, and have still not been able to find the end zone.

“I thought Aaron played one of his best games”, said Packers coach Mike McCarthy.

There were several other instances of Romo getting on Dalton, including when he joked that it was like Rodgers and Dalton had switched bodies, which was meant to be an indictment on Rodgers’ play throughout the game.

There are two things Aaron Rodgers had never done: win an overtime game and beat the Bengals. They’ve suffered injuries to both their starting safeties as well, so both sides are banged up as they head into a bonus period of football.

Josh Jones has no limits going forward.

The play deserved to go for a touchdown, instead Allison was brought down after picking up 72 yards. Surprisingly, the touchdown was the first of the season for the Bengals. But on third and one, running back Joe Mixon slipped before Dalton could give him the handoff and Morgan Burnett covered up the quarterback for a loss of one.

Mason Crosby drilled two field goals and an extra point in crunch time. Three plays later, on first down from the Bengals’ 11, Rodgers fired a quick pass in the flat to Adams. Thanks to more imaginative playcalling (the old recess-yard flea flicker?!) and Rodgers’ sheer resolve, the offense gets into a better rhythm, the defense turns up the pass-rush pressure and tightens things up in the secondary, the Packers’ typical talent advantage – at least when their talented players are on the field – starts to manifest, and the game starts to turn.

“As a team, we wanted to be unified in our actions today”, the Titans said in a statement. Rodgers (28-of-42, 313 yards, 102.4 rating) was sacked six times, though not from the middle of the third quarter on.

The 50th season in Bengals history started with banners and on-field honors for some of the franchise’s greatest players. He also played well in coverage and helped out nicely in run support.

On the ensuing possession, Green Bay cut the margin to 21-17.

Geronimo Allison caught a career high 122 yards on six receptions. “For young players like that, and for Josh especially not having a ton of reps (before Sunday)”.

“The game wasn’t over”, Packers receiver Geronimo Allison said. I wasn’t going to just go out and say it, but I thought it needed to be said, and that’s what I believe in and I think that’s what this team believes in.

With:21 left in regulation, on first and goal from the three, Rodgers zipped an out route to Nelson who just got by Dre Kirkpatrick for a touchdown. The 2-1 Packers move on to a short week and a Thursday night date with the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.
