Green Bay, Wisconsin
Packers 38 - Giants 13
The Packers started extremely sluggish in their Wild Card matchup with the New York Giants. Fortunately, that changed at the end of the first half. Rodgers connected with Davante Adams for a score with 2:20 left in the first half that gave the Packers a 7-6 lead. Rodgers added to the lead completing a Hail Mary to Randall Cobb on the last play of the first half.
The Giants didn't have an answer for Aaron Rodgers or the Packers in the second half. Rodgers finished the day with 362 passing yards and four touchdowns. Randall Cobb exploded catching three touchdowns with 116 receiving yards. Adams played well again hauling in eight receptions for 125 yards. The Packers defense held their own keeping Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. in check.
On to the NFC Divisional Round in Dallas.
Note: Jordy Nelson suffered a rib injury and his status for future playoff games is uncertain.
