Packers’ Field Goal Beats Bengals In Overtime

The Green Bay Packers come back from a 21-7 halftime deficit to beat Cincinnati, 27-24 in overtime on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Geronimo Allison caught a 72 yard pass from Aaron Rodgers — and Mason Crosby kicked a 27 yard field goal to end it, as Green Bay improved to 2-1 and the Bengals fell to 0-3. It was Lambeau’s hottest game day ever, 89 degrees at kickoff — A-J Green scored Cincinnati’s first touchdown of the year — and Rodgers threw only his second career Pick Six when William Jackson returned it 75 yards for a T-D. Rodgers completed 28 of 42 passes for 313 yards and three touchdowns and was sacked six times — Allison had six catches for 122 yards — and Jordy Nelson scored a pair of T-Ds. The Packers played without six starters, and tackle Bryan Bulaga hurt an ankle again — and they have a short week ahead as they host Chicago Thursday night.
