GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – An historic performance was thwarted with the help of Damarious Randall’s hand, as the Green Bay Packers hold off the San Diego Chargers 27-20 at Lambeau Field Sunday.
The Packers cornerback knocked down a pass to wide open running back Danny Woodhead on 4th and goal to seal the victory and push Green Bay to 6-0 heading into their bye week.
The historic part of the story belonged to San Diego (2-4) quarterback Philip Rivers, who was 43-of-65 for 503 yards with 2 touchdowns. Rivers set new franchise records for pass attempts, completions and yardage.

The Packers defense, while sacking Rivers 3 times, allowed the most completions in team history.
