2013 IN REVIEW

The Packers would begin the season in the same place where their previous season ended with a rematch against the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park. Aaron Rodgers had a solid game to open the season with 333 yards and three touchdowns, but the Packers once again had no answers for stopping Colin Kaepernick, who shredded Green Bay for 412 yards, with three touchdowns as the 49ers won the game 34-28. Rodgers would come out strong in the Packers’ home opener, passing for 480 yards, with four scores to lead the way in an easy 38-20 win over the Washington Redskins. Week 3 would see one of the craziest games in NFL history, as the Cincinnati Bengals jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, only to see the Packers rally and take a 30-14 lead in the 3rd Quarter. However, the Bengals would finish the game with 20 unanswered points to win the game 34-30, as both teams committed four turnovers, with Jonathan Franklin’s fourth quarter fumble leading to a Terrance Newman TD to give the Bengals the lead for good. After the bye week, the Packers got a boost from Rookie Running Back Eddie Lacy, who returned from a concussion in Week 2, to run for 99 yards as the Packers continued their home field dominance over the Detroit Lions with a 22-9 win. Against the reigning Super Bowl Champions Baltimore Ravens, the Packers defense had another outstanding game, building a 16-3 lead entering the fourth quarter. The Ravens would score twice in the final 15 minutes, but with Mason Crosby nailing a 34 yard field goal, the Packers managed to hang on and win the game 19-17. The Packers would win their next two games against the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, but injuries began to mount. Already playing without James Jones and Randall Cobb, the Packers lost Jermichael Finley to a frightening neck injury that would put the rest of his career in doubt after landing on his head against the Browns. In Week 9, the Packers would host the Chicago Bears in Monday Night Game and suffer the biggest injury, yet Aaron Rodgers was lost to a broken collar bone after being sacked by Shea McClellin in the first quarter. With 159 yards rushing, Eddie Lacy would keep the Packers in the game, but the Bears won 27-20 as Seneca Wallace was sacked in the final two plays of the game. A week later, Wallace would be sidelined with a groin injury as the Packers suffered a 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Scott Tolzien would start in the Meadowlands and looked every bit a third-string quarterback, throwing three interceptions as the Packers lost their third straight game to the New York Giants 27-13. With their quarterback situation in shambles, the Packers picked up Matt Flynn, who began the season as the starting QB for the Oakland Raiders. Flynn would come off the bench and replace an ineffective Tolzien, making the fourth different quarterback for the Packers in as many weeks, as the Packers hosted the Vikings with their season on the brink. Flynn was solid as Eddie Lacy continued to carry the team, rushing for 110 yards and scoring a fourth quarter touchdown to get the Packers back in the game after trailing 23-7. The Packers would add a TD from Flynn to Jarrett Boykin and a Mason Crosby Field Goal to send the game to overtime. The Packers would receive the ball first in overtime and drove the ball deep into Vikings territory but had to settle for a Crosby chip shot to take a 26-23 lead. Under the new overtime rules, the Vikings would get one possession to tie or win the game. Had the Packers scored a TD, the game would have ended. Instead, the Vikings evened the score with a Field Goal of their own. From there, the game became sudden death, but neither team would score as the Packers settled for a 26-26 tie. The Packers would not have much time to rest, as they faced the Lions on Thanksgiving and ended up getting carved up in a 40-10 loss. Entering December with a five-game winless streak and a record of 5-6-1, the season looked all but lost for the Packers, as they faced the Atlanta Falcons on a snowy Sunday at Lambeau Field. Matt Flynn struggled early against the Falcons as he had a costly fumble and interception that helped the Falcons build a 21-10 lead at the half. The Packers’ defense would keep them in the game, as Mason Crosby chipped away at the lead with two third quarter Field Goals. In the fourth quarter, the Packers would take the lead as Flynn connected with Andrew Quarless for a TD, the try for two failed, but the 22-21 lead would hold up as Jarrett Bush picked off Matt Ryan to seal the game with 11 seconds left. Matt Flynn and the Packers would get a bigger miracle the following week on the road against the Dallas Cowboys after trailing at the half 26-3. Flynn would have four touchdowns in the second half, as Eddie Lacy rushed for 140 yards as they rallied to win the game 37-36. Sam Shields made a key play picking off Tony Romo to set up the go-ahead score, while Tramon Williams’ interception sealed the win. The Packers, who looked as done as the Turkey on Thanksgiving, were suddenly back in the playoff hunt as the Lions were collapsing and the Bears just hanging on. In the next to last game of the season, the Packers lost a heartbreaker to the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-31 as another fourth quarter comeback was undone by a long kickoff return by Micah Hyde. However, despite the loss, the Packers’ hopes remained alive as the Lions and Bears both also lost. This would set up a one-game showdown with the Bears at Soldier Field, with the winner getting the NFC North Division Title. The Packers would get a boost for their final game, as Aaron Rodgers returned after missing seven weeks. Rodgers looked rusty early, as the Bears dominated the first quarter taking a 7-0 lead. The Packers would rally and take the lead into halftime, as Jarrett Boykin scored a 15-yard run. The game would see-saw back and forth the rest of the way, with the Bears holding a 28-20 lead after the first play of the 4th Quarter. However, the Packers quickly struck back on a six-yard run by Eddie Lacy. Down 28-27, the Packers needed one more miracle as they faced 4th down and eight at midfield with 48 seconds left. The Bears would send a seven-man blitz at Aaron Rodgers, who sidestepped a potential season-ending sack from Julius Peppers and heaved the ball to Randall Cobb, returning from missing nine games. Cobb made the catch and found the endzone to give the Packers a 33-28 lead, stunning Soldier Field into silence. The Packers would fail to make the two-point conversion, but Sam Shields sealed the win by picking off Jay Cutler’s Hail Mary attempt. With an 8-7-1 record, the Packers, who survived a MASH unit list of injuries, managed to make the playoffs. Eddie Lacy, who rushed for 1,178 yards with 11 touchdowns, would win the Offensive Rookie of the Year. In the Wild Card round, the Packers would face a host foe in the San Francisco 49ers. Early on, the 49ers dominated the Packers but managed just two field goals as the Packers’ defense kept the game from getting away early on a chilly night where the wind chill was below 0°F. The Packers would briefly take the lead in the second quarter as Aaron Rodgers connected with Jordy Nelson on a five-yard TD pass. However, the 49ers would answer and take a 13-10 lead into halftime. After neither team scored in the third quarter, the Packers retook the lead on a power run by John Kuhn, but the Niners answered back once again, with Colin Kaepernick connecting with Vernon Davis. Mason Crosby would even the score on a 24 yard field goal with 5:06 left, but the 49ers would take the ball and run down the clock to win the game 23-20 as time expired with a 33-yard kick from Phil Dawson.
