Can the Packers mount a comeback?

The Packers got the ball back with only 9:17 remaining in the game trailing by 23 points [37-14].

Defensive players were fighting on the sidelines. It seemed as though the team was about to implode.

The first two plays of the drive were incomplete passes that included a play where the ball was hit as Aaron was throwing it that could have been a fumble. 3rd +10 from the GB 21 = 13 catch and 1st down.

Then came the screen passes. Where have they been with all the pressure being thrown at Aaron Rodgers? Two perfectly set up screen passes to James Starks gained 30 and 29 yards and a touchdown. 2-point conversion. GB 22 – CAR 37.
