The Green Bay Packers used a 12-play, 67-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead over the San Francisco 49ers in the first quarter of Sunday's showdown at Lambeau Field.

The Packers gained 39 rushing yards from running back Josh Jacobs, including an 18-yard run to get the drive going, and the offense overcame a red zone penalty with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love Tucker Kraft at the tight end screen.

The Packers began the game 2-2 on third downs and 1-1 on touchdowns in the red zone. Green Bay averaged 6.4 yards per play.
