Opening drive of third quarter proved key for Packers

GREEN BAY – The final drive won it for the Packers on Sunday, but it was the opening possession of the third quarter that kept Dallas chasing Green Bay the rest of the game.

The six-play, 75-yard march was also vintage Aaron Rodgers, and for those reasons, it’s the Chevy Drive of the Week from the Packers’ 34-31 NFC Divisional playoff victory over the Cowboys.

Leading 21-13 heading into the second half, the Packers got the ball first and Rodgers went right to work. He immediately hit WR Randall Cobb for a 25-yard gain to midfield, and the offense was on the move.
