Aaron Rodgers threw a pair of touchdown passes, lifting the suddenly resurgent Green Bay Packers over the Jacksonville Jaguars, 24-15.
Rodgers completed 22-of-35 passes for 186 yards for the Packers (5-3), who have won three straight and four of five since a brazen Monday night theft in Seattle in late September.
Randall Cobb and Donald Driver caught touchdown passes for Green Bay, which was without wide receiver Jordy Nelson due to a hamstring injury. Alex Green carried the ball 22 times for 54 yards.
Blaine Gabbert played through a left shoulder injury and completed 27-of-49 passes for 303 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars (1-6), who have lost four in a row. Source: Sports Network Attached Thumbnails

Banged up Jaguars prep for Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers are optimistic they have enough depth in the secondary to compensate for the loss of Charles Woodson, and they have few worries on the other side of the ball with a red-hot Aaron Rodgers guiding their passing attack.

GREEN BAY, Wis. It wasn't just an ugly win for the Packers. No, this was something far more concerning for a team with seemingly legitimate Super Bowl aspirations.
Green Bay's 24-15 victory over the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars in front of 70,000 cheeseheads at Lambeau Field was an unimpressive performance against an inferior opponent. And the Packers knew it, too.

It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win for Packers
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It was an ugly win for the Packers. Or, in Jermichael Finleys words, a real nasty win. It wasnt the type of game that the team will look back on with pride, but Green Bay (now 5-3) hit the midway point of its season with its third consecutive victory.
