Packers vs. Titans score, results: Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams stay hot in snowy Lambeau image

Not even the heavy snow that was falling on Lambeau Field could slow down Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' red-hot offense as Green Bay rolled to a 40-14 victory over the Titans on "Sunday Night Football."

Rodgers completed 21 of 25 passes (84 percent) for 231 yards and four touchdowns, and his lone mistake, an interception, came in garbage time in the fourth quarter. His connection with Davante Adams, who hauled in 11 catches for 142 yards and three TDs, make the Packers one of the scariest teams in the NFC.

But what may have more teams concerned ahead of the playoffs is the balance Green Bay showed Sunday. Running back Aaron Jones left the game early in the second quarter, but rookie backup A.J. Dillon stepped right in and had a breakout game. Dillon carried the ball 21 times for 124 yards (5.9 yards per carry) and scored the first two touchdowns of his career.

Between Rodgers, Adams and Dillon, the Packers' offense dominated from the start, scoring touchdowns on each of their first three possessions to take a 19-0 lead with 10:46 remaining in the second quarter. Green Bay had a chance to put the game away before the half, with the ball at the Tennessee 12, but Rodgers suffered his only sack of the night on fourth-and-3, resulting in a turnover on downs.

The Titans got in the end zone on their ensuing possession with a 12-yard TD pass from Ryan Tannehill to Jonnu Smith with 37 seconds left in the half. Tennessee then received the second-half kickoff and scored on a surprise 45-yard keeper by Tannehill to make it a one-score game at 19-14 with 12:01 to go in the third.

The Packers responded with three unanswered TDs to run away with the game.

Green Bay's defense also had to be happy with the job it did against a Titans offense that entered the game leading the NFL in scoring (31.1 points per game). Derrick Henry, the league's leading rusher, was held to 98 yards on 23 carries (4.3 yards per carry). Tannehill was held to 11-of-24 passing (45.8 percent) for 121 yards with one TD and two INTs.

The Packers (12-3) are a win away from clinching the NFC's top spot, which would give them home-field advantage at Lambeau throughout NFC postseason play. They'll travel to Chicago to face the Bears next week.

The Titans (10-5) are now in jeopardy of losing the AFC South as they have the same record as the Colts. Tennessee holds the tiebreaker and would clinch the division with a win over the Texans in Week 17.

Tennessee takes over at its 29-yard line with 4:16 to play in the half.

8:50 p.m. — END OF 1Q: Packers 6, Titans 0.  Green Bay has it, third and 1 at the Tennessee 21-yard line to start the second quarter.

8:40 p.m. — Titans punt.  Tennessee gets all the way down to the Green Bay 32-yard line, but elects to punt instead of attempting a 50-yard field goal in the heavy snow. A touchback gives the Packers the ball back at their 20-yard line with 5:48 left in the first quarter.

8:30 p.m. — TOUCHDOWN, PACKERS.  Who else? Aaron Rodgers throws it out to Davante Adams in the flat, who beats his man and takes it in for the 5-yard TD. Mason Crosby misses the PAT, Green Bay leads 6-0 with 9:55 left in the first quarter.

8:23 p.m. — Titans win the toss.  They'll defer and the Packers will receive to start the game.
