GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Aaron Rodgers made San Francisco pay for a draft-day snub in 2005 and the Green Bay Packers survived a second-half surge by the 49ers for a 30-24 victory Sunday.
Rodgers threw touchdowns to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson, and Ryan Grant rushed for 129 yards and a score. The Packers (6-4) won their second straight game, rebounding from a midseason skid to emerge as a solid playoff contender going into their Thanksgiving Day date at Detroit.
Alex Smith recovered from a rough start to make things interesting with three second-half touchdowns, including rookie Michael Crabtree's first career score, but it wasn't enough for the 49ers (4-6).

It seems to be a common thing...teams paying for QB snubs. It's one of the reasons the Packers are 6-4 instead of 8-2.
My husband and I were at this game and it was great. The weather was perfect for late November and we look forward to watching them this Thanksgiving.
