Rodgers rallies Packers past McCarthy’s Cowboys 31-28 in OT

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers finally might have found a new big-play target. Rodgers threw three touchdown passes to rookie Christian Watson and led a 55-yard drive in overtime to set up Mason Crosby’s game-winning 28-yard field goal, and the Packers stopped a five-game skid with a 31-28 win over former coach Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. “All we had to do was believe.” Green Bay appeared well on its way to losing six straight games in the same season for the first time since 1988, trailing 28-14 in the fourth quarter before Rodgers led two long drives that ended with scoring passes to Watson. That’s what I told these, ‘You need these tight games to get to where you want to go.’” Rodgers was McCarthy’s quarterback for most of his time with the Packers. The Cowboys were missing running back Ezekiel Elliott.. Green Bay’s defense was missing outside linebacker Rashan Gary, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell and cornerback Eric Stokes.
