The Panthers started the game on offense, but they were unable to pick up a first down and had to punt the ball to the Packers after only taking a little over a minute off the game clock.
The Panthers defense were unable to get off the field quickly after giving up a 46-yard run by Aaron Jones on third-and-1, which set the Packers up in the red zone. A few plays later, the Packers were in a first-and-goal situation, and shortly after that the Packers had taken a 6-0 lead after Aaron Rodgers found Robert Tonyan near the end zone.
