GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers threw a go-ahead touchdown to Jordy Nelson in the fourth quarter, and the Green Bay Packers shook off a week’s worth of controversy to beat the New Orleans Saints 28-27 on Sunday.

With Packers fans howling about what appeared to be yet another bad call – this time by the regular officials, not the replacements – Garrett Hartley missed a 48-yard field goal attempt with just less than 3 minutes remaining, costing the Saints a shot at the lead.

“I’m very proud of our football team, especially after the week we’ve endured,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “We talk a lot about integrity and character, and I thought today’s game had plenty of those types of situations where it showed up big.”
