The Packers are in need of finding more end-zone targets for Rodgers during the prolonged absence of receiver Allen Lazard, and with running back Aaron Jones missing his first game of the season, opportunities presented themselves.

The "official" note on the Taylor and Sternberger TDs is due to Sternberger's playoff score last January. Regular-season stats are what go on a player's ledger in the league and team archives.

Be that as it may, the goal-line connections in the first half off play-action fakes were big for both players as they work to find roles in the Packers' offense. They'll give future opposing defenses more to think about, too.

"It's just encouraging to see that you can put a little something on those guys' plates and they come through for you when you need them," Head Coach Matt LaFleur said.

"I hope it trends upward for us in terms of just the confidence we have in those young guys, that when their number's called, they're able to deliver for us. That's critical."

The lesser-knowns on defense showed up big down the stretch in this one.

With safety Darnell Savage out due to injury, Will Redmond slid into the starting lineup and everybody else at the position moved up a peg or two, after Raven Greene also departed with an injury. That included rookie seventh-round pick Scott and practice-squad call-up Black.
