Defense ruled the day
"...Two quarterback pressures by Rush forced errant passes on third and fourth down to clinch the victory.
'We pride ourselves on defense. What other scenario would we want than having our defense out there to win the game? Those guys did a great job responding,' Rodgers said.
Defense and special teams ruled the day from the very first play."
