Packers missed their early chances

Late in the second quarter trailing 10-0, Green Bay faked a punt near midfield, and punter Tim Masthay converted the fourth-and-2 with a 7-yard run around left end.

It didn’t amount to anything, though, as back-to-back sacks of quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the next series led to another fourth down, and a real punt this time.

Moments later came an even bigger break. Defensive lineman Mike Daniels reached up and snagged a Carson Palmer screen pass, returning his first career interception to the Arizona 15-yard line.

On third down, though, Rodgers tried to throw to a covered James Jones in the end zone, and Cardinals cornerback Justin Bethel made an acrobatic interception to keep the Packers off the board.
