Greatest show on turf revives on frozen tundra - Rams beat Pack 28-26
Torry Holt with a miracle catch for the game winning TD: Brock Berlins throw is way off, but Holt will catch the ball at the X, only inches over the ground.
It was over when...
Brandon Jackson who filled in for the injured Ryan Grant was lifted off his feet and brought to the ground while blocking during the Packers two-point conversion attempt to tie the score with 1min17sec to go in the game. With Jackson, A-Rods primary target for the play, out of the game, the Packers QB hit Greg Jennings close to the sideline but the Pro-Bowl receiver was brought down before he made it into the endzone.
Game ball
must go to Brock Berlin who surprised the Pack with two excellent drives in the fourth quarter, finishing both with TD throws to Torry Holt. Of course the punishing running game of Steven Jackson helped to keep both drives alive several times.
Key stat
The Packers killed their Superbowl chances with four holding calls on four different drives in the second half, especiallly when an 8yrd TD run was nullified and the Packers were brought back to the 18yrd line to only score a FG. Two other drives were killed by the penalties, since the Packers O was not able to make the 20yrds for the first down. So if you vote on the Poll to the right, go for "The Pack itself"!!
Noteworthy
The game ended up to be an offensive battle:
The Pack had a great day on offense, A-Rod throwing for 324yrds and 3TDs (111.1 QB rating) and Ryan Grant running for 110yrds on 20 attempts before he left late in the 3rd quarter, while the Rams anwered with 230yrds through the air and 133yrds from Steven Jackson on the ground.
