One week after producing a perfect 158.3 passer rating against the Oakland Raiders, Rodgers completed six of seven passes for 75 yards and a touchdown on the opening drive, good for a passer rating of 150.9.

Jones caught three passes for 23 yards. Rodgers hit Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a third-down conversion and then found Jake Kumerow for a 34-yard connection, sparking the scoring drive.

The Packers got nabbed for a delay of game penalty on first down and then had a Jones touchdown run wiped out by a holding penalty on the drive. They overcame both infractions and found the end zone, creating an early 7-0 advantage.
