Packers 27, Dolphins 24
Aaron Rodgers registered one of the signature victories of his stellar career, rallying visiting Green Bay for two scores in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter - including the winning touchdown pass with three seconds left.
Rodgers used a fake spike - the play made famous by Miami legend Dan Marino - to set up the Packers (4-2) at the Dolphins 4 with seven seconds remaining and, following a timeout by the Dolphins, drilled the game-winner to tight end Andrew Quarless in the front right corner of the end zone. Rodgers finished 24-of-42 for 264 yards and three TDs without a turnover to lead Green Bay past former offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, who is now the Dolphins' head coach.
Jordy Nelson made nine catches for 107 yards and a touchdown for the Packers, while Eddie Lacy was limited to 40 yards on 14 carries. Ryan Tannehill went 20-of-31 for 231 yards with two TDs and two interceptions for the Dolphins (2-3), who welcomed back Knowshon Moreno to the lineup - although he struggled to the tune of 10 yards on six carries.
Rodgers gave Green Bay a 17-10 advantage when he found Randall Cobb for a 5-yard TD with 3:44 left in the third quarter, but Miami quickly answered with an 80-yard drive that Lamar Miller capped with a 5-yard scoring run before taking the lead on Tannehill's 5-yard touchdown strike to Mike Wallace. The Packers trimmed the deficit on Mason Crosby's 30-yard field goal with 4:09 to play, then marched down the field on the decisive trip - which included an 18-yard completion from Rodgers to Nelson on fourth-and-10 from near midfield.
The Packers took an early 7-0 lead on Rodgers' 9-yard strike to Nelson less than five minutes into the game and held a 10-3 lead at intermission following a relatively low-key first half. The Dolphins drew even early in the third on an 11-yard hookup between Tannehill and Jarvis Landry (six catches, 75 yards) before the teams went back-and-forth over the final 1 1/2 quarters.
