Apparently running the table didn’t just mean the Packers’ final regular season games. After a worrying first quarter that not only saw Green Bay post just seven yards of offense, but also a game-ending injury to star wideout Jordy Nelson, the late-season Packers arrived, a class above their opponents in every department.
While the offense took time to find its groove, Green Bay’s depleted defense held New York at bay. Eli Manning missed opportunities, his receivers dropped routine catches, but Dom Capers’ unit did just enough to keep the scoreboard low.
Then Rodgers arrived.
