Green Bay 24 Detroit 20
Maybe not what we expected but again, a win is a win is a win. All is well that ends well and in the end Aaron Rodgers threw his second touchdown pass to Randall Cobb with 1:55 to play to lift visiting Green Bay to its fifth consecutive victory.
I knew the Offense could struggle a bit vs that Lions front four without Bryan Bulaga. We continue to try to run the ball but can only muster 3 yards per carry even with James Starks back. Thankfully we did enough to win and nobody else was injured. Still, we are so thin on the OL that another injury there could spell doom.
When it came down to the drive with just minutes left down 20-14 there was no doubt in my mind that Aaron Rodgers would find a way to win it, and he did. Therefore he gets my game MVP over Randall Cobb who deserves it again. It seems like Rodgers deserves it almost every week and does not get it, therefore this one goes to Aaron.
The Special Teams gives us a lot to be happy about yet again EXCEPT for Mason Crosby who nearly lost the game for us. The Packers won't be replacing him so we must just all hope that he gains back his confidence in time to help the Packers win these big upcoming games. I never thought Jarrett Bush would become this good of a player but please Packers, keep him on Special Teams where he knows what he is doing.
The Defense flat out won this game for us. Without Clay Matthews and still no Charles Woodson, the Defense held a good Offense to just 20 points and at the end when forced to stop Megatron one more time they did it! There is a lot of deserving guys again this week for the Defensive game MVP but M.D. Jennings brought back one of the picks 72 yards for a score. When you get a pick 6 you usually win, he really picked up the slack for the Offense in this one.
With the 49ers blowing out the Bears tonight as I expected, here are the Current NFC North standings:
Packers 7-3
Bears 7-3
Vikings 6-4
Lions 4-6
