It was looking like we’d be talking for the next two weeks starting Tuesday about the status of Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy. Instead, we’ll be able to come back to a familiar refrain: Aaron Rodgers still gives the Packers a chance to win.
After blowing a 17-7 lead, and faced with a deficit from the late second quarter on, the Packers were on the verge of a disastrous loss. But Rodgers — off as he might have been at times, missing passes he normally sees and makes — found some magic late in a 33-30 victory over the plucky San Francisco 49ers.
