CLEVELAND - Last week, running back Ryan Grant was productive in the fourth quarter against Detroit after a slow start, but Sunday in Cleveland, the success on the ground started early in the game and continued the rest of the afternoon.
Grant rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries (5.5 avg.), the third-best regular-season performance of his career behind only his career-best 156-yard output vs. Oakland (Dec. 9, 2007) and his 145-yard day vs. Chicago (Nov. 16, 2008). As a team, the Packers gained 202 yards on 41 attempts (4.9 avg.), the first 200-yard performance since the 2008 season finale vs. Detroit.
"We wanted to start fast," Grant said. "The biggest thing for me was I wanted to start fast and maximize every opportunity, no matter what the situation is. Finishing strong, that has been our strong suit and stuff, but we wanted to start fast and finish it through the whole time. I think the line did a great job."
Last week Grant posted just 28..
