When Green Bay Packers fans asked for Aaron Rodgers to play like the old Rodgers, they didn’t want the old defense back along with him. A vintage performance from Green Bay’s quarterback came up short as two potential game-tying drives went begging in the fourth quarter with the Eagles flipping the script on the Packers: their defense made the plays to win 34-27.
Rodgers marched his team down the field twice looking to even the game, but four passes from the 1-yard line ended in a turnover on downs. After Green Bay got a stop, a tipped ball turned into an interception in the end zone with 28 seconds left, ending the Packers scoring chances, and with it, any chance of winning the game.
