Green Bay Packers clinch dramatic 33-30 win over San Francisco 49ers


Mason Crosby kicked a last-gasp field goal as the Green Bay Packers staged a dramatic late comeback to beat the San Francisco 49ers 33-30.

The 49ers looked set to record only their second win in six games this season after establishing a 30-23 lead heading into the final two minutes at Lambeau Field.

But Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers moved the Packers up field before finding Davante Adams with a 25-yard touchdown pass to help tie the scores.

The Packers were not finished there either and they regained possession when Kevin King intercepted CJ Beathard's pass, and Rodgers powered the hosts forward again with an 81-yard drive to set kicker Crosby up for the victory with just three seconds left.

Crosby's match-winning contribution comes a week after he had missed four field goals and an extra point in the Packers' 31-23 defeat to Detroit.

Rodgers threw for 425 yards with two touchdowns - both to Adams - as Green Bay made it three wins from six.
