GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers finally might have found a new big-play target.
And the Green Bay Packers still have a chance to rescue a season that seemed headed toward oblivion.
Rodgers threw three touchdown passes to rookie Christian Watson and led a 55-yard drive in overtime to set up Mason Crosby’s game-winning 28-yard field goal, and the Packers stopped a five-game skid with a 31-28 win over former coach Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
“We’ve seen what we can be, and we’ve seen it was only us getting in our own way,” said Watson, a second-round pick from North Dakota State.
