While there is no doubt some disappointment after the Packers' last-second loss at Pittsburgh, one bright spot that came out of the defeat was the performance of Green Bay's offense down the stretch on Sunday.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the offense on three scoring drives in the final stanza, a 22-point output that was a season-high for the fourth quarter. It was the most points scored by the Packers in the final quarter since they put up 24 points at Detroit (Sept. 14, 2008) with the help of two interception returns for touchdowns.
Trailing 24-14 late in the third quarter, quarterback Aaron Rodgers orchestrated a 13-play, 69-yard drive that was capped off with an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jermichael Finley. The 13-play march was the Packers' second-longest touchdown drive of the season behind only a 15-play one vs. Dallas in Week 10.
The possession looked like it was doomed early on after Rodgers was brought down by linebacker LaMarr Woodley ..
