Rodgers has strong day as Packers hold off 49ers San Francisco 24, Green Bay 30 Sure, Aaron Rodgers enjoyed beating the San Francisco 49ers. It's the team he grew up rooting for, and the team that snubbed him on draft day in 2005. But Rodgers wasn't gloating after Sunday's 30-24 victory, and neither were the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay (6-4) nearly blew a big lead in the second half, and now might have to hang in the playoff race without two key cogs in the defense: outside linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al Harris, who sustained potentially serious knee injuries. The Packers led 23-3 at halftime and 30-10 in the fourth quarter after Smith threw an interception to Nick Collins that set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Green Bay's Ryan Grant, who rushed for 129 yards. San Francisco's Josh Morgan returned a kickoff 76 yards and Smith threw a 24-yard touchdown to Vernon Davis, cutting Green Bay's lead to 30-17. With Harris and Kampman still sidelined, Smith had long completions to Isaac Bruce and Crabtree on the next series, setting up a fourth-and-5 at the Green Bay 10. Smith found Frank Gore for a touchdown, cutting the lead to 30-24 with 5:56 left. "Just because you're up on a team doesn't mean they're going to quit, and they didn't quit," cornerback Charles Woodson said. "We gave them some big plays in that second half and let them hang around and gave them some confidence." Davis said the 49ers' success came in large part from their shotgun spread formations, and suggested the team should use the spread more often. Game notes Kampman and Harris' injuries both appeared to be to their left knees. ... Rodgers' touchdown passes went to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson. Jennings had 5 catches for 126 yards. ... The 49ers lost starting left guard David Baas to a right ankle sprain in the first quarter.
Your face is lining to me! But I can watch them this Thursday! But to bad I have to wake up early.. 11:30.. /sigh
That sucks you didn't see it. There have to be sites out there that show it. I only know of atdhe.net as well.
I saw the game and it was great, well we almost let 'em back in there at the end, but for about 55 minutes it was fun. I hope Kampy and Harris are NOT seriously injured, we need those guys going into the last of the season. Anyway, Thanksgiving Turkey and Packer Football, it don't get any better (expecially with the Lions on the other end of field, eh?)!!! Happy Big Bird Day incase I don't get back here until after the game!
I don't know where you live, but if it's in or near Wisconsin can't you get the games on radio? http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/52901502.html
Kampman and Harris both have season ending injuries. Rookie Brad Jones will start for Kampman. Tramon Williams will start for Harris.
