A Lutz 35-yard field goal then tied the score before Rodgers threw an 18-yard TD to tight end to Marcedes Lewis to see Green Bay back in front. Not for long though, as a 52-yard catch and run for a score from Kamara again levelled the game by the end of the third quarter.

But it was the Packers who ultimately prevailed in the fourth, with Robert Tonyan getting in for the all-important touchdown late on.
