'Gritty football team' just keeps finding ways to win - Packers.com

A picture-perfect half-minute drive for a walk-off field goal at San Francisco.

The kicking game madness in Cincinnati.

Then a last-second interception at Arizona.

The home games have been rather blasé but when this 2021 Green Bay Packers team hits the road, buckle up.

Thursday night's 24-21 triumph out in the desert is the latest craziness, this time emerging from perhaps the most difficult circumstances yet – a depleted receiving corps, an absent defensive coordinator, on a short week, against an undefeated team.

Yet, somehow, the Packers prevailed.

"I think we're a gritty football team," quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "I think nobody probably expected us to win tonight. Maybe to be in the game but definitely not to win with the guys that we had out. I'm really proud of the guys."

The three-time MVP attributed the uplifting victory to two things – the right attitude, and the right leadership.

"I was texting with some friends today and I said, 'I love when the odds are stacked against us,'" Rodgers said. "I feel like it takes all the pressure off. And we just kind of relaxed and played really loose.

"With the guys that we've got leading us, we know how to deal with adversity. And we've been in pressure situations before and we know how to handle those situation the right way."
