The San Francisco 49ers lost their first home game with fans since their NFC Championship Game rout of the Packers two seasons ago.
The 49ers, who spotted the Packers a 17-0 lead, finally went ahead with 37 seconds to spare as Kyle Juszczyk crashed over the goal line on a 12-yard touchdown catch.
But that left enough time for 49ers’ long-time rival Aaron Rodgers. He capped his 261-yard night by spiking the ball to stop the clock for Crosby, but only after supplying Davante Adams’ 12th reception of his 132-yard night.
Mason Crosby made a 51-yard field goal as time expired for a 30-28 victory.
