Headline: Packers WIN FIFTH Game in a Row Game MVP: Brett Favre= 33 of 50- 383 yards Offensive Player of the Game: Ryan Longwell= second straight week game winning walk-off field goal
After a dismal four game losing streak, which saw the Packers drop to 1-4, the tide has changed in Green Bay as now the Packers are one of the hottest teams in the NFL with a 6-4 record and sporting a FIVE game winning streak.
This victory didn't come easy for Green Bay. The Packers would lose much momentum in the running game as Ahmann Green and his new back-up would go with injuries. After a scoreless first quarter, The Packers would open the scoring on a 23 yard field goal from Longwell for a 3-0 lead.
Texas would dominate the scoring for the rest of the first half as they would score 13 unanswered points and open up a 13-3 lead at halftime.
The Packers and Favre continued to struggle in the third as Favre was INTERCEPTED to end a promising drive. As the third quarter ended, it looked like Houston would pull-out a victory still leading 13-3.
In the fourth, Favre led the Packers onto victory. He passed to Ferguson for 25 yards. A few plays later, Favre hit Bubba Franks for a gain of 26 yards. Two plays later, Favre tossed a pass into the left corner of the endzone which Driver caught for the TOUCHDOWN. Longwell added the p.a.t. to make it 13-10 with 12;28 remaining.
The defense shut down Houston's next drive to force a punt. Chatman returned the punt 25 yards. Favre then passed to Henderson for a 20 yard gain. The drive eventually led to a 39 field goal from Longwell to tie the game at 13-13 with 7:55 remaining.
The defense continued to shine and stop Houston. The Packers had their shot when they got the ball back with two minutes remaining. Favre was HOT! He completed six passes six passes for 44 yards including a beautiful pass to Driver for a 12 yard gain on third and seven. With just :03 remaining, Longwell came in and kicked a 47 yard field goal to give the Packers a 16-13 VICTORY.
