Packers take 7-0 lead over Texans into halftime

The second quarter began with another big defensive stop. The Texans had fourth-and-1 from the Green Bay 49 and went for it, but RB Alfred Blue was stopped for no gain by DE Datone Jones, and the Packers took over in good field position.

Green Bay took advantage this time, driving 50 yards in 10 plays for the game’s first score. The Packers went for it on their own fourth down, fourth-and-2 from the Houston 42, and RB Christine Michael picked it up with a 5-yard run.

From there, consecutive 6-yard passes to WRs Jordy Nelson and Ty Montgomery were followed by a 5-yard Montgomery run and a 7-yard Nelson catch.
