Are You Ready For Some Football: Packers Start The Season With A Saints Beatdown

Thursday marked the beginning of the 2011 NFL Season and it couldn’t have gotten off to a better start for the Green Bay Packers who won their first game of the season Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints 42 – 34. 

 

The Packers had an early lead in the first quarter but the Saints weren’t going to make this an easy game. Drew Brees led the game in touchdowns but it wasn’t enough to get his team the W.

 

Check out some highlights via our friends over at ESPN:

 

GREEN BAY, Wis. — A Super Bowl hangover and the NFL lockout weren’t about to slow down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. The New Orleans Saints just couldn’t keep up.

 

Rodgers came out on top in a memorable opening-night duel with Drew Brees, and the Packers made a goal-line stand on the final play of the game to beat the Saints 42-34 on Thursday night.

 

ith 42 points Thursday night, the Packers set the NFL record for the most points scored by a reigning Super Bowl champ in its season opener.

 

Packers rookie Randall Cobb caught a touchdown from Rodgers and ran a kickoff back 108 yards for a score in the third quarter — tying an NFL record for the longest kickoff return in history.

 

Rodgers threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Brees threw for 419 yards and three touchdowns, including a late touchdown to Jimmy Graham that cut the lead to 8 with 2:15 left.

 

After a Green Bay punt, Brees marched the Saints to the Packers 9-yard line and spiked the ball with 3 seconds left. Green Bay’s A.J. Hawkwas called for pass interference and the ball was placed at the 1.

 

The Packers defense swarmed rookieMark Ingram, and the game was over.

 

It was a big night for Donald Driver, who tied James Lofton’s franchise mark for career yards receiving with 9,656.

 

Cobb’s big return gave the Packers a 35-20 lead, but the game wasn’t over. Darren Sproles answered with a long kickoff return of his own, and Brees drove the Saints for a 29-yard touchdown to Devery Henderson.

 

The Saints forced a punt and marched to the Packers’ 7-yard line, but failed on a fourth-down conversion attempt and gave the ball back to the Packers.

 

Green Bay drove again, and Rodgers handed the ball to John Kuhn on third-and-goal for a 1-yard touchdown and a 42-27 lead early in the fourth quarter.
