GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (WXOW) -- Aaron Rodgers went back to an old favorite, connecting with Donald Driver on a 4-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to seal Green Bay's 24-15 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
Rodgers threw two touchdowns, passing Bart Starr for second place on Green Bay's all-time list, and Dezman Moses gave the Packers their first touchdown on a blocked punt in almost 22 years. But Green Bay (5-3) had a surprisingly tough time with the NFL's worst team, which lost its fourth straight.
Playing without top receivers Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson, Green Bay's offense struggled to find its groove all afternoon. Jacksonville (1-6), meanwhile, looked unfazed by the absence of Maurice Jones-Drew. Backup Rashad Jennings finished with 115 yards of offense, and Cecil Shorts had a career-best 116 yards on eight catches.
Jacksonville scored nine of its points in the final moments of the 2nd Quarter. Josh Scobee kicked a field goal to trim the lead to 14-6 with 1:03 remaining. Aaron Rodgers fumbled on the first play on the Packers next possession. That led to a one yard toss from the Jags' Blaine Gabbert to Tackle Guy Whimper with :17 left in the half. Jacksonville missed on the two-point attempt that made the halftime score 14-12.
The Packers have one more game before a bye week. They'll next face Arizona at Lambeau Field. The Cardinals play Monday night against San Francisco.
