Williams and rookie Jonathan Stewart have formed a formidable 1-2 running combination for the Panthers this season, but Williams got the bulk of Sunday's carries after Stewart cramped up on a long run in the second quarter.
"(DeAngelo) had to carry more of the load today," Panthers coach John Fox said. "When he has, when we've called on him, he's come up. He's done a tremendous job for us."
Williams had 21 rushes for 72 yards. Smith finished the game with 105 yards receiving -- all in the second half. Delhomme was 12-of-17 for 177 yards.
Rodgers finished 29-of-45 for 298 yards with three touchdowns, and threw an interception with 1:19 left.
The Packers had a late lead, the crowd, and the sometimes-notorious Lambeau weather in their favor -- and let it all fall apart.
"We're just not making big plays when the money's on the table," Packers right tackle Mark Tauscher said. "We don't punch it in on third-and-1. You don't make any plays. We're playing in spurts, and we're not doing enough to win games."
Notes: Green Bay has four losses this season by four points or fewer. ... Green Bay's Greg Jennings had eight catches for 91 yards, putting him over the 1,000-yard mark in a season for the first time in his career. ...
