"It just felt good to make some plays in a big moment when we needed it. I just have to learn how to run when it's really cold out," Graham joked. "I was trying to lift my knees up. I need more practice with the cold stuff. That's for sure."

The Packers tacked on two more field goals off takeaways, but didn't find the end zone again until late. Green Bay came within four yards of San Francisco's end zone early in the fourth quarter, but turned the ball over on downs after an end-zone pass to Valdes-Scantling fell incomplete on fourth down.

The Packers' defense made two key stops to give Rodgers one more chance at the comeback and he didn't disappoint. He made perhaps the biggest pass of the game on third-and-2 with 15 seconds remaining with a successful back-shoulder completion to Equanimeous St. Brown, who made a tiptoe 19-yard catch along the sideline to get into scoring territory.

"He just called an all-go," St. Brown said. "I don't really know where he's going to throw it, but you always have to be ready with him out there. He can put the ball anywhere he wants. It was a back-shoulder ball, and you've just got to make the catch and get out of bounds and stop the clock."

Adams then moved the ball into chip-shot range for Crosby with a 19-yard catch of his own on the next play, completing a 201-yard fourth quarter for Green Bay's offense and a 425-yard day for Rodgers through the air.

The Packers hope to get veteran receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison back in the fold from hamstring injuries after the bye week, but Adams and Graham praised Green Bay's rookie receivers for helping stem the tide the past few weeks.

While the Packers are still eyeing a complete game on the offensive side of the ball, Monday was another example of a team finding a way to win with the game on the line.
