Packers take down the 49ers in comeback fashion

The San Francisco 49ers traveled to Green Bay on Monday night to take on the Packers. The 49ers are without starting quarterback Jimmy Garappolo. He is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. In his place, CJ Beathard will be the starting QB. The 49ers are coming off a loss to the Cardinals last week. The Packers are coming off a road loss to Detroit where they committed several mistakes early. They are looking to get back on track with the help of QB Aaron Rodgers. Who will come out on top in this Monday Night Football matchup? Let's find out!
 The 49ers would start with the ball and would go seven plays and end with Matt Breida would score from three yards out for a 7-0 lead. The Packers would answer on a four play drive that would end with Ty Montgomery going in for a two yard rushing touchdown to tie the game at 7. The drive was highlight by Rodgers going to Marquez Valdes-Scantling for 60 yards to the 49ers 17 yard line. The 49ers would fumble the kickoff and the Packers would recover at the SF 34 yard line. The Packers would get a 29 yard field goal by Mason Crosby for a 10-7 Green Bay halfway through the first quarter. The 49ers' next drive would end with a punt. A five play drive by the Packers would result as Rodgers would go to Davante Adams for a nine yard touchdown pass and a 17-7 lead. The 49ers would score before the end of the first quarter and would go on a quick three play that would end with Beathard going to Marquise Goodwin for a 67 yard touchdown pass to cut the Packers lead to 17-14. The Packers' next drive would end in a punt. The 49ers next drive would end with a fumble recovered by the Packers and would result in a 39 yard field goal by Mason Crosby for a 20-14 lead. Another three play drive by San Francisco would end with Beathard going to Goodwin for a 30 yard score for their second touchdown of the game. The Packers would go three and out on their next drive. The 49ers would go on a long 11 play drive that would take up the final 5:06 of the second quarter and end with a 46 yard field goal by Robbie Gould for a 24-20 49ers lead at halftime.

They would face a third and 6 and Rodgers would find Adams once again for the 16 yard touchdown to tie the game at 30 with 1:55 to go. The 49ers would start with good field position after a 32 yard return and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Green Bay would give the 49ers the ball at their own 47 yard line. San Francisco would face a third and 3 and Beathard's pass would be intercepted by Kevin King at the Green Bay 10 yard line. The Packers would have one last chance in regulation to win the game. Montgomery would go for 14 yards on the first drive. The Packers would face a third and 15 and Rodgers would be sacked but an illegal contact penalty would negate the sack and give Green Bay a first down. Rodgers would scramble for 21 yards to the Packers 45 yard line. On third and 2 and Rodgers would find Equanimeous St Brown for 19 yards and then Rodgers would find Adams for 19 to the SF nine yard line for a field goal attempt by Crosby from 27 yards out.
