NFC Playoffs: Packers a force at Lambeau, beat Saints 38-10
Outta my way!! Grant stiffarms Mike McKenzie on his way to his second TD of the game.
It was over when...
The Packers scored from 1yrd out to finish a 13 play, 73yrd drive that started the second half and took 6:17 off the clock. Clearly dominating their opponent with a strong running game, the Pack took a 21:3 lead and everybody in the stadium knew that the Saints were beaten.
Game ball
goes to Ryan Grant who had an incredible game with 275 total yards and two TDs, the 226yrds on the ground came on 27 carries, resulting in a strong 8.3 yrd/carry average. Grant missed the single game rushing record of the Buam Season held by the Texans Steve Slaton by only 11yrds when he pounded a weak Saints D over and over again.
Key stat
Once again an almost flawless execution of the Packers offense, resulting in 478 total offensive yards. Although Aaron Rodgers threw an early interception, he still ended the game with a 113.7 passer rating, hitting 70% of his passes and throwing for 3 TDs.
Noteworthy
Although the Saints Offense showed glimpses of competence, especially with a good passing game by Drew Brees, they entered the Packers redzone for the first time in the fourth quarter of the game. Brees also threw 2 interceptions, of which one was carried back for a TD.
