The Texans had been preparing for rain in Green Bay. They got snow instead. And the Packers are making the most of the semi-frozen tundra of their home field.

After the Texans opted to go for it on fourth and short at midfield and failed, the Packers drove 50 yards in 10 plays for the first points of the game.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers connected with receiver Randall Cobb on a nine-yard pass to score six points. Rodgers, who was questionable with a hamstring injury, has completed nine of 10 passes for 57 yards.
