Blocked punt by 49ers ties game with Packers late in the fourth quarter

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- With their offense struggling mightily, the San Francisco 49ers finally got points from the place you'd least expect it.

On fourth-and-19 from Green Bay's 12, Niners defensive end Jordan Willis burst through the middle and blocked punter Corey Bojorquez's punt. The ball popped straight into the air before finally landing near rookie safety Talanoa Hufanga.

Hufanga scooped it up at Green Bay's 6 and coasted into the end zone for San Francisco's first touchdown of the night. Robbie Gould's extra point tied it at 10 with 4:41 to go.
