GREEN BAY — In nine seasons with the Packers, Jordy Nelson had never played in anything quite like the conditions that hovered over Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.
Constant flurries fell from warmups through the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans, challenging the passing game of both teams.
Nelson shook off the ice and slush piling up in his cleats with eight catches for 118 yards and a touchdown that helped guide the Packers to a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans.
A bulk of that production came during the fourth quarter from a 32-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers that put the Packers ahead 14-7, and two catches of more than 20 yards on Green Bay’s next scoring series that helped the Packers pull away.
