Aaron Rodgers Finally Wins First Career Overtime Game In Victory Over Bengals

Based on the Cincinnati Bengals’ poor start this season, everyone seems to be assuming the Bengals are heading toward a losing record this year.

He did it in thrilling fashion.

Green Bay drove to the Cincinnati 10 but stalled, settling for Crosby’s 28 yard field goal that cut the lead to 21-17. “Those are important things”. Bennett’s struggles in the first three games look nearly identical to former Packers tight end Jermichael Finley.

There was plenty to take away from Sunday’s contest.

Often times big plays are the name of the game in football, especially the NFL, and the Packers made more of those. What a magical clutch performance by Aaron Rodgers!

For only the second time in his career, Aaron Rodgers had an interception returned for a touchdown when he tried to hit Jordy Nelson on a short out pattern but Williams Jackson stepped in front for the pick and the 75 yard return for a score that made it 21-7 Bengals. Detroit appeared to have thrown the game-winning score with 12 seconds left, but Golden Tate was ruled down before he scored after review and the touchdown was overturned. “And then he extends them with his arms, his legs”. “When the guy jumped, he snapped it with flawless timing”, Allison explained. 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. Jones led the team in tackles with 12 (11 solo) and tackles for loss (three), and he also produced two sacks on third down.

He’s made this a habit so far this season. Jones brought a attitude on defense that the Packers sorely needed.

With their second pick of the second round of last year’s NFL Draft, the Packers selected Josh Jones out of North Carolina State. Allison caught the ball at the Bengals 44, sidestepped two defenders before being taken down inside the 10 by cornerback Josh Shaw. The Packers have suffered some significant injuries on defense, including defensive tackle Mike Daniels and linebacker Nick Perry. Bulaga and left guard Lane Taylor missed snaps in the Bengal game.

While the Packers still pulled out the win, Rodgers was sacked six times and Kyle Murphy continues to be shaky as the primary backup.

Head coach Ron Rivera could have a hard time getting his Panthers on track this season. After Sunday at Lambeau Field, Rodgers was able to cross both off his bucket list as the Packers rallied for a 27-24 overtime victory.

Former New England Patriots and current Green Bay Packers tight end Martellus Bennett responded to President Donald Trump’s comments on Twitter on Saturday.

Lawson is capable of becoming an impact edge rusher in the NFL. Cincinnati outrushed Green Bay 110-64. Coach Marvin Lewis fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese and elevated quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor after the 13-9 loss to Houston in Week 2. It’s frustrating playing good but not well enough to win.
