But never down and out.
“That’s a character win, 100 percent,” quarterback said moments after leading the Packers’ on a game-tying touchdown drive in the waning moments of the fourth quarter, and a game-winning drive for a field goal in overtime.
The Packers rallied to beat the Bengals, 27-24, on Sunday at Lambeau Field despite numerous obstacles – some injury-related, and some of their own making against a fiery Cincinnati squad Rodgers characterized as “desperate” to avoid an 0-3 start.
With the seven game-day inactives all regulars, two on offense and five on defense, the Packers also lost starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga late, when his ankle injury flared up again.
