The Green Bay Packers celebrated victory over the New York Jets in the game last Sunday on Wisconsin's Lambeau Field in Green Bay, with the Packers roaring back from their deficit by winning their opener at 31-24.

In an Associated Press report on the NFL website, Aaron Rodgers threw three to make the score, and receiver, Jordy Nelson, made one long touchdown in 209 yards, making it one of his career highs.

Rodgers said about Nelson: "Well, [Nelson's] pretty impressive. Take it for granted sometimes. He's not a big 'me' guy ... so he kind of gets overlooked sometimes. We know the kind of player he is."

Although the Jets had an early lead in the game's second quarter, the Packers had the chance to tie in, albeit later on. There was also the unfortunate incident of Jeremy Kerley's touchdown being negated due to a timeout called by the Jets just before he made score.

Coach Ryan reportedly said that he didn't call time-out, suspecting that it could have been Marty Mornhinweg, the team offensive coordinator, or Geno Smith, the quarterback. Sheldon Richardson, the defensive lineman, took the blame, as he leaned over for the referee to tell him that Mornhinweg called the time-out.

Smith said, "we can't take those things back. That happened. As a player, as a quarterback, you still want to go down there and score a touchdown and we failed to get that done."

What lost the game was that by the near end, the Jet's offense started to collapse, with Eric Decker taken off field due to a hamstring injury, replaced by Michael Vick, but was taken down by Clay Matthews.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said, "It's a game of adversity. It's a game of momentum swings. It's a game of big plays. We were in a spot, but our players stayed the course."

The Packers then owned the game beginning with a 13-point score in the final 5:43 of the first half, which included field goals made by Mason Crosby, including a goal from 55 yards that set the team record.

Finally, the Packers clinched their win when they got the defensive break that Tramon Williams intercepted Zach Sudfeld.

He was ecstatic, saying, "You never want to come out that flat, you never expect to come out that flat, but we did and we found a way to get through it."
