Panthers...35 Packers...31
DeAngelo Williams scored his fourth touchdown of the game with 1:30 remaining, giving the Carolina Panthers a stunning come-from-behind 35-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers in wintry conditions at Lambeau Field.
The Packers appeared headed for a comeback victory of their own after breaking a 28-28 tie on Mason Crosby’s 19-yard field goal with 1:57 remaining. But Green Bay immediately gave up a 45-yard kickoff return to Mark Jones and a 54-yard heave from Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith to set up first and goal on the Green Bay one.
Williams then went up the middle for his career-high fourth score of the game, helping Carolina (9-3) keep pace in the competitive NFC South. The Packers fell to 5-7 and are in trouble in the NFC North.
Quoteworthy: “We have been way too inconsistent, definitely underachieving at times.” -- Aaron Rodgers, Packers quarterback
