It was Montgomery’s first National Football League touchdown. Thankful for the three wins and would like to keep it going like this throughout the season.

The Packers have once again put the rest of the NFC on notice that the road to the Super Bowl will go through Lambeau Field. It is uncertain if Brees will be able to play at home against Dallas on Sunday night.
The offense went on to score four times on their five remaining first half possessions.
– Rodgers has not thrown an INT in 16 of the last 19 regular-season games. Often, the games were over by halftime.
The Kansas City Chiefs had no answers for the Green Bay Packers Monday night, and the end result was a 38-28 loss that probably could have been much worse. He later explained himself, saying there was a new mindset in the locker room where the Packers now expect to win when they play at home. “Today we came out here and executed a few plays really well, so we’ve just got to continue to do that”.
The Packers are 3-0, fulfilling head coach Mike McCarthy’s long-held objective in the offseason for his team get off to a “fast start” after the team staggered to a 1-2 record each of the previous three seasons. They did the same thing to Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch last week. That’s a tough combination to beat anywhere, but especially at Lambeau.
Part of that adversity is not only looking in the mirror as Johnson described, but also listening to one another and figuring out what to do in order to make sure they don’t have another performance below the standards they have set for themselves, like Monday night.
The Kansas City Chiefs obliged by committing four penalties that gave Rodgers free plays (offside and 12 men on the field calls).
Rodgers was 4-of-4 for 53 yards and two touchdowns on screen passes.
When Smith hit Jeremy Maclin for a five-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, it was the Chiefs’ first touchdown pass to a wide receiver since the playoff loss to Indianapolis on January 4, 2014 – a streak of 18 consecutive games. “Aaron’s a phenomenal player, playing great football”.
So if you were looking for reasons why Ted Thompson drafted two cornerbacks and a receiver with his first three draft picks this year, you saw it Monday night.
Packers running back Eddie Lacy and receiver Davante Adams were upgraded active for the game against the Kansas City Chiefs, though Green Bay was without starting safety Morgan Burnett.
What would these two teams, who face each other this week at Levi’s Stadium, look like had the 49ers chosen Aaron Rodgers over Alex Smith on that fateful day?
The star quarterback has risen above a string of injuries to key skilled players since the preseason last month to lead the Packers to a 3-0 start.
What say you, Packers Nation?
Kansas City Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles jumps in the crowd after rushing… During that span the Packers have won games by scores of 55-14, 53-20, and 42-10.

Rodgers’ passing masterclass was the fourth time he has thrown for five-or-more touchdowns in a single game.
