Rodgers shows leadership skills on field, leads Pack to win

It will be a challenge for the Houston defense to not allow the Green Bay offense to have a fast start. They didn’t. Thanks in part to two penalties – including a killer roughing the passer call on Fletcher Cox – the Packers drove 75 yards for a touchdown that gave them an 11 point lead. The fact of the matter is this is one win.

Does that break the seal? We’ll be talking about the game plan as we go. “After that, playing with so many guys out, I thought he managed it extremely well”.

Matthews was evaluated by trainers on the sideline, then returned to the game briefly before being taken back to the locker room. But I hope there’s not a ton of relief setting in, because we still have a lot of things in front of us we’d like to accomplish.

Going up against Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, also a Super Bowl victor, wasn’t just another day at the office, however, even in a season in which the Packers have struggled more than expected. I think it’s important to keep that focus.

“He’s just now finally healthy, and when you’re healthy, you’re more confident, and the more confident, the more plays you make like he made on Monday and he’s been making most of the season”, said Rodgers.

“We big on the snowball thing – kind of how the season went at the beginning of a year ago”. His status for the game is unknown. This is a winning organization.

Listen to much more from McCarthy, including his take on Sunday’s opponent, the Houston Texans, in your Soundcloud player above.

The Detroit Lions, who lead the division by one game over Minnesota and two games over the Packers, play at the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. However, the result is final and it changes the complexion of the National Football League playoff picture for the better for the Green Bay Packers.

Philadelphia’s Caleb Sturgis kicked field goals of 48 and 50 yards while Green Bay’s Mason Crosby connected from 33 and 32 yards. Jordan Matthews is the Eagles’ leading receiver with 57 catches for 686 yards and three scores.

The growing chemistry between Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers is going to be critical for the Packers and their 7th ranked passing attack as the season progresses.

CHALLENGING: Eagles coach Doug Pederson challenged a 2-yard catch in the third quarter – and won – so the Packers had a second-and-10 instead of second-and-8.

“We still got five weeks left”.

One tackle and zero pressures against Green Bay and 4.0 sacks for the season. The Texans’ offense will need to sustain drives in a balanced attack to limit the Packers from turning this into a boat race. They added a late field goal and the Packers scored on all three of their second-half possessions, which ate up a total of nearly 17 1/2 minutes.

Next week, Green Bay will welcome the Seattle Seahawks to Lambeau Field.
