All that put the Jaguars up 20-17 and in position for the upset with 12:40 left.
"We played uncharacteristic in a few areas," Rodgers said.
Amongst the negative events, the Packers had gotten a 78-yard touchdown pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a TD run by Rodgers to complete an 81-yard drive, and an interception by safety Adrian Amos leading to a field goal right before halftime.
But the Jaguars were clamping down against the run and the conditions made it a "guessing game at times," according to Rodgers, how to deal with the wind on his way to 325 passing yards (24-of-34, two TDs, one INT, 108.1 rating).
The weather was the same for the Jaguars, but their special-teams TD and 10 points off turnovers had the Packers in a bad spot, needing to find something on offense before it was too late.
"It kind of felt out of sync all game, to be honest with you," LaFleur said.
Fortunately, a Jacksonville defender slipped on third-and-9 with 12 minutes left, leaving tight end Robert Tonyan wide open for a 23-yard completion, and the Packers took advantage from there.
A 7-yard reception by running back Aaron Jones preceded a 20-yard run by Jones, his longest of the day (13 carries, 46 yards). An 18-yard receiver screen to Valdes-Scantling was then followed by a 6-yard TD toss to Adams off play-action with 9:03 left.
