"And if you’re tired of seeing it, we’re tired of living it." We’re all able to see it on the film every single week that we’re so close to turning that corner," Osweiler said. "We’re tired of being close, we really are as a team. Osweiler finished 22 of 35 for 202 yards. He was composed in the second half in leading Houston on 10-play, 63-yard drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Griffin on fourth-and-1 to tie it at 7 with 7:32 left in the third quarter. Osweiler has faced heat for the Texans’ offensive struggles this season. "I had decent movement and didn’t do anything to create a major setback." "I don’t know if you ever come out better than you did coming in, but I feel good about where I’m at," Rodgers said. The Texans started getting more pressure on Rodgers in the second half. Rodgers didn’t face much pressure in the first half against a Houston defence minus injured end Jadeveon Clowney. He looked OK after being limited in practice with a left hamstring injury, taking off for a couple runs, though he didn’t seem to have his usual mobility on the slippery turf. "He’s going through what every great player goes through in that first year back from major injury." "I don’t know how much more Jordy needs to prove," McCarthy said. Nelson, who missed last season with a knee injury, finished with eight catches. The Packers broke a 7-all tie when Rodgers found Nelson open in the end zone for a 32-yard touchdown pass with 12:42 left after Texans cornerback Charles James slipped on the turf. The Texans are tied with idle Tennessee and a half-game ahead of Indianapolis, which plays the New York Jets on Monday night, for the AFC South lead. "There’s not much a margin for error with our team, and we’ve got to do a better job in the fourth quarter," coach Bill O’Brien said. But Osweiler’s last-ditch pass-and-lateral play from Houston’s 12 with 4 seconds left failed, handing Houston its third straight loss. The Texans (6-6) had one last shot after the Packers failed to run out the clock. Nick Novak missed the extra point, with footing slippery at Lambeau. They’re two games back of division-leading Detroit after the Lions beat New Orleans on Sunday.īrock Osweiler connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a 44-yard touchdown pass with 1:51 left to get within eight for Houston. The Packers (6-6) weathered wintry conditions, making just enough plays on the cold turf to even their record for the first time since they were 4-4 after losing to Indianapolis on Nov. "A lot of fun to play in that type of atmosphere in Lambeau Field." "Well, that was a good bad-weather win," coach Mike McCarthy said. The Rams are still the NFL's second-least-penalized team this season despite committing 16 penalties in the past three games.Aaron Rodgers threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns, Jordy Nelson had 118 yards receiving and a score, and Green Bay pulled away from the Texans with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Mayfield's next passing TD will be the 100th of his career. He had career highs of seven catches for 89 yards. Rams WR Ben Skowronek didn't leave the field in the previous game against the Raiders, taking every offensive snap. LB Bobby Wagner needs eight tackles to become ninth in NFL history in regular-season tackles. Tyler Higbee needs two touchdowns to become the Rams' career TDs leader among tight ends, but Higbee has yet to score this season. Los Angeles is expected to have the same starting offensive line group for three straight games for the first time this season, although C Brian Allen is practicing lightly to manage his thumb injury. The Rams will attempt to avoid joining the 1999 Denver Broncos as the only defending Super Bowl champions to lose 10 games. Hollins has one sack and two tackles for loss in two games with Green Bay. Packers OLB Justin Hollins was claimed off waivers from the Rams on Nov. Nixon also had his first career interception in his most recent game. The only other Packer to do that since 1941 was Steve Odom in 1975. Packers CB/KR Keisean Nixon has at least 100 yards in kickoff returns in four straight games. Watson’s seven touchdown catches lead all rookies this season. The other was Minnesota’s Randy Moss in 1998. Watson is only the second NFL rookie receiver to score eight touchdowns from scrimmage in a four-game span. The Packers have won their past five Monday night games. This is the NFL-leading 30th consecutive season in which the Packers have played a Monday night game. It’s the first time since 1921 the Bears didn’t have at least a share of the lead in that category. The Packers’ victory at Chicago allowed them to overtake the Bears for the most regular-season wins by any NFL franchise. They lost at Philadelphia and won at Chicago before having last week off. STATS AND STUFF: This is the Packers’ first home game since a 27-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Nov.
