Three touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers helped the Green Bay Packers take a 12-point lead over the Tennessee Titans into halftime on Sunday night at a snowy Lambeau Field.

Rodgers hit Davante Adams twice and Equanimeous St. Brown once for scores, giving the Packers a commanding 19-0 lead before the Titans drove the field late in the first half to make the score 19-7 at the break.

The Packers dominated early but left points on the field. Mason Crosby missed an extra point after the first touchdown, and the Packers failed both a two-point conversion and a fourth-down opportunity in the red zone.

The Packers defense intercepted Ryan Tannehill once and sacked him twice, and Derrick Henry managed just 35 rushing yards, but the Titans did travel 71 yards after the fourth-down stop to cut the lead to 12 points. Tannehill hit Jonnu Smith for a 12-yard touchdown with 42 seconds left, and the Titans get the ball after the half.

The Packers have 16 first downs and 210 total yards and are averaging 6.0 yards per play. The Titans have seven first downs and 93 total yards and are averaging 3.9 yards per play.

With three more touchdown passes, Rodgers now has an NFL-high 43 this season. Adams has 16 touchdown catches, moving into third place in team history for a single season.
