GREEN BAY, Wis. — The standings say the Green Bay Packers are in good shape for the playoffs. But last night's victory over the Baltimore Ravens showed they still have some work to do to be taken seriously once they get there.

Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, including two to tight end Jermichael Finley, and the Packers beat the Ravens, 27-14, in a penalty-filled game.

It was the fourth straight win for the Packers (8-4), solidifying their spot in the NFC wild-card race. But it certainly wasn't pretty.

The teams committed 23 penalties for 310 yards, tying for the second-highest yardage total in an NFL game.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy called the penalties "unbelievable for both sides" but said he was happy with the way his team responded to trying circumstances.

"I'll say this about our football team: I was very proud and excited the way they overcame the adversity," McCarthy said.

The Ravens (6-6) struggled in coverage without star safety Ed Reed, who sat out with hip and ankle injuries. But Ravens coach John Harbaugh insisted his team still can save its season.

"We are still breathing," Harbaugh said. "We are still alive."

Baltimore was called for five pass interference penalties. The Packers were flagged four times for pass interference.
