2011 NFL Playoffs: Green Bay Packers Defeat Philadelphia Eagles


Packers pulled it out!

What a wild card game! The thrill of Aaron Rodgers throwing 3 touchdown passes to Brandon Jackson, James Jones and rookie Tom Crabtree and they were three of nine recievers thrown to and was just a start to the excitement. After a two fumble first quater we wondered if the playoff jitters were going to get to Rodgers. But, today turned out to be his day! We also saw game ball winner James Starks rush for 123 yards a Green Bay Packers playoff rushing record. The Packers defense was ready for Michael Vick and had him back pedaling all night. He did throw one touchdown pass to Jason Avant and Vick rushed for another. The receivers were dropping balls all over the field leaving points on the turf. There were more points left by the Ray Finkle Award winner David Akers missing two much needed field goals that were the difference in the loss. Then came the interception with 33 seconds on the clock Michael Vick throws it up in the endzone and Tramon Williams came down with the ball to put the end to the Eagles season.
Aaron Rodgers played his game and looks healthy for the rest of the playoffs!

Next opponent: Atlanta Falcons
