Packers 24, Jaguars 15: Aaron Rodgers threw a pair of touchdown passes and Dezman Moses recovered a blocked punt in the end zone as Green Bay won for the 16th time in 17 home games.

Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for a 5-yard scoring strike late in the first quarter and tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Donald Driver less than 2 1/2 minutes into the fourth to open a 21-12 lead for the Packers (5-3), who have won three straight overall.

With Green Bay already ahead 7-3, Devon House blocked Bryan Anger's punt at the Jacksonville 27. Several Packers attempted to pick up the ball before Moses pounced on it in the end zone with 8:45 remaining in the second quarter to extend the advantage.

After Josh Scobee converted a 22-yard kick for his 19th consecutive successful field goal with 1:03 left in the half, the Jaguars (1-6) regained possession as Rodgers fumbled while being sacked. Blaine Gabbert threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to eligible lineman Guy Whimper, but the two-point conversion that would have forged a 14-14 tie failed.

Gabbert, who was questionable due to a left shoulder injury, completed 27 of 49 passes for 303 yards while Cecil Shorts had eight receptions for 116 yards.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Green Bay K Mason Crosby missed a 32-yard field-goal attempt late in the third quarter that would've given his team a five-point lead as the ball hit the right upright. ...
