GREEN BAY – The Packers did exactly what they needed to on the opening drive of Sunday's game – set the tone.
So it's an easy choice to make the 12-play, 67-yard touchdown march the Chevy Drive of the Week from the 38-10 victory over the 49ers.
After an incompletion on the first snap, RB Josh Jacobs carried the ball on the next four plays for a total of 30 yards. Then back-to-back completions to Jayden Reed covered 13 yards to move the chains again for a first down at the San Francisco 24-yard line.
Jacobs carried twice more for 9 yards, followed by RB Emanuel Wilsonn's third-and-1 conversion, before the first miscue – a holding penalty in the red zone.
But unlike the way drives earlier this season got bogged down with flags, the Packers overcame this one and didn't even need third down. On first-and-20, QB Jordan Love threw a WR screen to Reed for 13 yards, and on the next snap Love found TE Tucker Kraft underneath for what turned into an 11-yard touchdown.
The Packers were on the board, used half of the first quarter (7:25), and never looked back.
