SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Aaron Rodgers directed one touchdown drive on Friday night at Levi’s Stadium, and it was the kind the Packers hope to have plenty of in the regular season.
On the second series of Green Bay’s 21-10 victory over the 49ers, Rodgers engineered a 14-play, 87-yard scoring drive that consumed 7:53 on the clock and had a little bit of everything.
It began with a 21-yard run by Eddie Lacy, included Rodgers catching the 49ers with 12 defenders on the field, required a fourth-and-short conversion by James Starks inside the 10, and was finished off by Randall Cobb’s third catch on the drive, a 6-yard TD on the opening play of the second quarter.
