With little over a minute left in the half, Rodgers took the offensive down the field in five plays.

The game was every bit as close as the final score indicated.
While the Jaguars are a competitive team with the potential to make a run for the playoffs this season, the Packers will be the more talented team on the field Sunday afternoon. Nelson is back, but he didn’t play a single snap in the preseason. They will get a chance to fine-tune things next week at Minnesota.
Good news, you should be starting most of the Jaguars players you own as well. After all, they entered the season having lost 36 of their last 50 games and losing the majority of those by double digits.
“I would say we’re better prepared this year than the last two Miami experiences”, McCarthy said Tuesday, before the team’s first practice of the week. “We had way too many and they hurt us in key situations”.
General manager Dave Caldwell signed Amukamara and Gipson in free agency to bolster the back end.
The results didn’t show in the opener. The season is young and Rodgers is just heating up. “That’s the approach as far as what you ask them to do and how much you ask them to do, and communication is part of that responsibility”.
“I don’t know what the refs were looking at”, Lee said.
The fact that our new defensive coordinator, Todd Wash, was our defensive line coach a year ago makes that adjustment very easy because we know how to communicate with him and he communicates very well with us.
Even though we have had some disappointing times record-wise, Coach Bradley’s message to us has never changed.
We want to have a great year and play at a high, high level and build a winning tradition here in Jacksonville. Once he did, Nelson made an impact.
Nelson played the entire first quarter without a catch and then had three receptions on the second-quarter scoring drive, including the touchdown. The seven-year veteran developed into one of the best receivers in football, combining for 2,833 yards and 21 touchdown catches in 2013 and 2014. With the lowest passer rating of his time as a starter and the least productive full-season numbers he’s had in his career, Rodgers knows that as he goes, so goes his team.
In a surprising development on the Jagaurs’ side, RB Chris Ivory is inactive after reportedly being taken to the hospital for a medical issue. Three rushes from inside the Jacksonville eight left the Packers just short, but the running game was very strong in this drive and the Packers converted three third down attempts before settling for the short field goal.

“It was good”, he said. The Packers selected Lowry six slots later out of Northwestern, where he played in 48 games, registering 134 tackles, including 31 1/2 tackles for a loss and 12 1/2 sacks.
