OAKLAND, Calif. — After losing four of five games during a rare midseason slump, the Green Bay Packers are back where they usually are this time of year: headed to the playoffs.
Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown pass and Damarious Randall returned an interception for another score to help the Packers beat the Oakland Raiders 30-20 on Sunday, after Green Bay clinched a franchise-record seventh straight postseason spot.
"It's big, especially when a couple weeks ago everybody was counting us out," said defensive back Micah Hyde, who had an early interception that helped Green Bay get off to a fast start.
