Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers led four scoring drives in his five possessions against Denver on Friday. The Packers went on to win the preseason game 27-24.

Actually, they did. But they went right back at him on the next play.

“First play was a little underthrown and I told him that if they give us the same look the next play, then let’s just go right back at it,” Marshall said. “And we did.”

The Broncos outgained the Packers 91-31 in rushing yards in the first half.

Mason Crosby, an All-America from the University of Colorado, kicked field goals of 44 and 46 yards for Green Bay, the latter pulling the Packers to 17-13 as the first half expired.

Michael Pittman gave Denver a 24-20 lead with a 10-yard touchdown catch from Patrick Ramsey midway through the fourth quarter.

Linebacker Tracy White picked off a pass from Ramsey deep in Denver territory with five minutes left, giving Green Bay possession at the Broncos’ 10-yard line and setting up Kregg Lumpkin’s game-winning TD run on fourth-and-1. Ramsey injured his throwing arm on the interception.

The Broncos also lost three defensive ends to injuries: Elvis Dumervil (dislocated finger), Ebenezer Ekuban (back) and Paul Carrington (left calf). Also, safety Marquand Manuel broke his thumb and needs surgery, Shanahan said.

Notes: The Packers lost RG Josh Sitton and WR James Jones to knee injuries. ... Shanahan said C Tom Nalen’s second surgery on his left knee in 2½ months went well.
