Quick Take: Panthers beat Packers on frozen home turf with a late 4th quarter rally
Chased by Aaron Kampman, Jake Delhomme throws deep to find a wide open DeAngelo Williams in the endzone, scoring the Panthers first TD
It was over when...
Aaron Rodgers targeted Ryan Grant on an all-or-nothing 4th down pass with 23sec to go in the game. While Grant was wide open in the left corner of the end zone, ready to receive the 8yrd pass, Rodgers missfired like he had before several times during the game, forcing Grant to a difficult reception which made him step out of bounds.
Game ball
...goes to Jake Delhomme, who managed two scoring drives in the last quarter to give the Panthers the lead and win. In this very balanced game, both team's stats were almost identical until Delhomme started his aerial assault in the last 12min.
Key stat
The Panthers D held Ryan Grant to 60yrds rushing with a 3.3yrd average, forcing the Packers into long 2nd and 3rd down situations. Since A-Rods timing was awfully off several times during the game, Carolina finally came out on top.
Noteworthy
Although the Packers were leading 17-6 going into the last quarter, they never dominated the game. Jordy Nelson scored the second Packers TD on a 102yrd kick-off return TD that started the second half.
