Looking downfield at a locked-up receiving corps and, perhaps sick and tired of a stat line he didn't recognize, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers put his head on the line Sunday.
He took off running like a man out of options. Rodgers zagged around for a 17-yard scramble in the third quarter. A keen play, picking up a first down on third-and-10.
But that was about the only way Rodgers could get his struggling offense going. Unable to find holes in Denver's secondary he resorted to scrambling to get a first down.

But the Packers couldn't — despite an undefeated record behind one of the NFL's best quarterbacks — solve Denver's defense, which held Rodgers to 77 yards passing, the lowest total of his NFL career.
