The crowd erupted in cheers as Rodgers took the field, his long hair flowing behind him. The former league MVP looked sharp from the start, completing his first seven passes. The Packers wasted no time putting points on the board, with Rodgers connecting with Davante Adams for a 21-yard touchdown pass on their opening drive. San Francisco fought back in the second quarter, with Trey Lance leading the 49ers to two touchdown drives. However, the Packers defense held strong, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Kenny Clark in the end zone. After halftime, Rodgers and the Packers offense continued to dominate. Rodgers threw another touchdown pass to Adams, this time for 36 yards. The 49ers managed a field goal in response, but the Packers defense came up with another big play, intercepting Lance in the end zone. With the game on the line in the fourth quarter, Rodgers engineered a 9-play, 88-yard drive that culminated in a touchdown run by Aaron Jones. The 49ers responded with a touchdown pass from Lance to George Kittle, but it was too little, too late. The final score was 27-24, giving the Packers their first win of the season. Rodgers finished the game with 255 passing yards and three touchdowns. Adams led all receivers with 12 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns. “It was an amazing feeling to be back out there in front of the best fans in the world,” Rodgers said after the game. “I’m so proud of our team for the way we fought today. This win is huge for us.” With Rodgers back at the helm, the Packers look poised to make a run at the playoffs.
