The Packers converted three third downs against the league’s No. 1 ranked third-down defense and scored a red zone touchdown against the league’s No. 1 ranked red-zone defense.

Allen Lazard caught an 8-yard pass on 3rd-and-7 to keep the drive moving.

The longest play on the drive was a 14-yard run by Aaron Jones.

Overall, the Packers gained seven first downs and had the football for seven minutes and 38 seconds.
