Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Leads dramatic comeback win

Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 283 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Monday night's 23-22 win over the Lions.

Rodgers led the Packers back from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter, with his comeback effort highlighted by a perfectly placed 35-yard touchdown to Allen Lazard to cut the Lions' lead to two. That came after he endured a number of frustrating drops from his pass-catching targets, an undermanned group due to Davante Adams (toe) not playing and Geromino Allison (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling both exiting at different points in the game. In fact, Rodgers' lone interception came after the ball hit the little-used Darrius Shepherd square in the face near the goal line and subsequently bounced into an opponent's hands. Overall, it once again wasn't a vintage Rodgers stat line, but his performance while working with an inexperienced and inconsistent cast ultimately helped move Green Bay to 5-1 ahead of their upcoming visit from the Raiders.
