CLEVELAND – The Green Bay Packers saved their season just in time for Aaron Rodgers' return.
Brett Hundley threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams in overtime as the Packers rallied from a two-touchdown deficit in the fourth quarter for a 27-21 victory Sunday over the winless and luckless Cleveland Browns.
Hundley pulled out his third victory — and second in a row in OT — since replacing Rodgers, and now the Packers (7-6) will get back their MVP quarterback after their season appeared doomed when he broke his collarbone against the Vikings in October.
"My No. 1 thought going into it was to keep our hopes alive to make the playoffs," said Hundley, who had three touchdown passes. "At the end of the day, whatever happens, happens. Whenever I'm called upon, I'll be ready. In the meantime, we're still in this."
On third-and-6 in OT, Hundley threw a short pass to Adams, who spun out of Myles Garrett's arms and went in untouched with 5:05 left.
"We kept the playoffs alive," said safety Josh Jones, who intercepted rookie QB DeShone Kizer to set up the winning score. "We got the best quarterback in the league coming back, so we feel a lot better."
Rodgers returned to practice this past week, and as long as he is cleared by medical staff, he will be back on the field next Sunday when the Packers play Carolina
It was another devastating loss for the Browns (0-13), who made several critical mistakes late in regulation before Kizer's poor decision on his final throw.
