GREEN BAY, Wis.–— The Green Packers (12-3) have secured the NFC North and now have their eyes set on the No. 1 see in the NFC playoffs after the victory Sunday night against the Tennessee Titans. (10-5)
Aaron Rodgers was in MVP form despite the snowy weather at Lambeau Field, throwing 21 of 25 for 231 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.
“It’s tough to play in the cold,” said Rodgers, who went 21 of 25 for 231 yards with an interception. “It’s tough to play at Lambeau. I think we proved that tonight.”
The Packers had major contributions across the board with Davante Adams having a strong performance with 11 catches for 142 yards and three touchdowns; rookie A.J. Dillon rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns and Aaron Jones rushing for 94 yards.
“People definitely don’t want to play in the cold,” Adams said. “It’s tough, man. It’s tough. It makes you a little bit less physical. It takes your speed away. If you don’t get to practice in this and get used to the temperature, the snow, and all of that stuff, as you’ve seen, it can obviously take a toll. I think that team (Tennessee) is a really, really solid team that played with a lot less speed than they typically do.”
Tennessee’s plan of attack usually revolves around Derrick Henry, who was held under 100 yards rushing, and their passing game was held in check as well. Ryan Tannehill went 11 for 24 121 yards and one touchdown.
“I don’t think you can do that against anybody, with the mistakes that we made and the start that we had,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. “(It’s) just not going to be good enough and just too inconsistent.”
The Titans were held to just 260 total yards compared to the Packers 448.
