GREEN BAY, Wis. – It took more than 48 minutes, and most of the announced crowd of 71,501 wasn’t around to see it, but there was one highlight for the Green Bay Packers during their 30-10 loss to the New York Jets in Saturday’s preseason game.

Undrafted rookie running back Amar Johnson broke two tackles and outran the safety for a 39-yard touchdown.
