GREEN BAY, Wis. – For all the Green Bay Packers’ complaints about a mistake by replacement officials that cost them a game Monday night, they probably wouldn’t have been in position to lose on a last-second play if their offensive line had done a better job protecting Aaron Rodgers in the first half.

Going into Sunday’s home game against New Orleans , the Packers will have to do a better job keeping Rodgers upright after he was sacked eight times by the Seahawks.

Left guard T.J. Lang was happy with the way the line rebounded in the second half of Monday’s game, but offered no excuses for the first half.
