Packers Ravens Football Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) throws to a receiver as he is pressured by Baltimore Ravens cornerback Anthony Averett in the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 19, 2021, in Baltimore. His 8-yard touchdown run with 42 seconds left pulled the Ravens within one, but Huntley's 2-point conversion pass was incomplete. Ravaged this season by injuries — especially in the secondary — Baltimore faced a difficult task trying to stop Rodgers and the Green Bay receivers. The Ravens drove into Green Bay territory before another devastating penalty. That was Rodgers' 442nd touchdown pass, pulling him even with Favre.

Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes — tying Brett Favre on Green Bay’s career list — and the Packers became the first team this season to clinch a division title, wrapping up the NFC North with a 31-30 win over Baltimore after the Ravens missed another big 2-point conversion in the final minute.

Broncos starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater returned to practice Thursday for the first time since he was knocked out of Denver's game against Baltimore last weekend with a concussion.

Rodgers found Cobb for a 23-yard score in the second quarter to put the Packers up 14-7 over Pittsburgh. The New York Jets, New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts have their first wins of the season.
