ATLANTA -- Aaron Rodgers found new ways to move a Green Bay offense missing many of its top playmakers.Rodgers creativity -- and his four touchdown passes and career-high 60 yards rushing -- kept the Packers close in Sundays 33-32 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Even Rodgers do-it-all best wasnt enough to overcome the loss of six starters, including linebacker Clay Matthews and wide receiver Randall Cobb, who were held out with hamstring injuries.First of all, there are no excuses, Rodgers said. Were all professionals out here and are expected to play well, and to that accord Im proud of our guys and the way they battled.The offense also was without starting tight end Jared Cook, who has an ankle injury, and wide receiver/running back Ty Montgomery, who was limited all week by an illness. If healthy, Montgomery was expected to see significant time at running back , as the Packers continue to adjust to the loss of Eddie Lacy to injured reserve with an ankle injury.Rodgers improvised by finding new targets.Receivers Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis and Jeff Janis caught their first career touchdowns.Thats our job, to go out and make plays, regardless of whos in there, said Allison, just promoted from the practice squad. Allisons 4-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter was his first career reception.Fullback Aaron Ripkowski, who had six carries for the season before Sunday, matched that with six carries for 34 yards. He had four carries for 13 yards on the Packers 13-play, 86-yard touchdown drive for a 32-26 lead with 4:04 remaining.Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Rodgers was outstanding in the game, and he said the Packers have overcome injuries before.We have played like this before, McCarthy said. We have taken advantage with the people we have.Rodgers said Green Bays game plan was ever changing with late medical updates on Cobb and Montgomery.We felt good about the packages we had, but we knew we needed backup plans in case things went a certain way out there.The Packers began the game rotating running backs Don Jackson and Knile Davis, who combined to run for 14 yards on seven carries.I got away from that because I wasnt comfortable with it after the second quarter, and I thought our players responded very well, McCarthy said, adding he went to more of a spread game.McCarthy said medical updates will help determine the direction of the offense.We will see what the medical report looks like tomorrow and we will go from there, he said.Montgomery said after the game doctors believe his illness is somewhat related to the sickle cell trait.Unfortunately, I had to deal with some of those symptoms, Montgomery said. Were taking it day by day. We were monitoring the situation with the hope Id be able to play today.James Starks, Lacys backup, was out with a knee injury.Rodgers completed 28 of 38 passes for 246 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. Davante Adams started for Cobb and had a game-high 12 catches for 74 yards.Julius Peppers started for Matthews and had a sack.Green Bays long list of inactive players also included starting cornerbacks Quinten Rollins and Damarious Randall.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Bradley Chubb Jersey .

Number values assigned are out of five with five being the best performance. Corey Crawford - 3 - Not his best game Monday night, having trouble with rebounds all night. He gave up a bad one to Joakim Andersson, but one thing I liked is he did not change his game after the Andersson goal. He could have easily folded his tent and fell apart mentally, but instead hhe responded with a big save on Johan Franzen and another on Valtteri Filppula.dddddddddddd His best save was a right pad save on Pavel Datsyuk with nine minutes left in the third to preserve the lead. Jimmy Howard - 2 - He had some crease issues as far as scrambles. He got turned around on a Andrew Shaw rebound in the second period and lost the puck in jams a few times. He continued with his aggressive play but was not as sharp in his second shot battles as he has been in other games. ' ' '
