Rodgers Paces Packers' Rout

The Associated Press

Published: September 15, 2008

DETROIT - The Aaron Rodgers era is looking pretty good so far. He threw three touchdown passes in the first four drives of his second start, helping Green Bay build a big lead it needed in a win vs. the Lions.

Green Bay led 21-0 midway through the second quarter, but fell behind by a point with 7:41 left after Calvin Johnson caught his second TD in the fourth quarter. The Packers went back ahead with a field goal on the ensuing drive, then turned the game into the rout it had been for much of the day with three straight interceptions.
