Rodgers led Packers to win by throwing three TDs

Without star safety Ed Reed, the Baltimore Ravens had to struggle in coverage while playing against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night, and finally lost the game 27-14 to the Packers, who are now sitting pretty in the playoff race.

You can call it lucky for Packers or unlucky for Ravens. Aaron Rodgers did arise cheer from fans in his No. 12 replica Packers jersey by throwing three touchdowns, with two to tight end Jermichael Finley. But he was still apt to throw interceptions. Again he threw two interceptions. And in preparation for playoffs, he needs to improve himself a lot.

What’s more a big part of the Packers’ win was gained through a committed 23 penalties for 310 yards, the second-highest yardage total in an NFL game. That is perhaps why Ravens coach John Harbaugh insisted his team is “still breathing” in the playoff race.

Packers QB Rodgers proved him good replacement of Favre

On Saturday night, the Green Bay Packers won another preseason game, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers gave another rhythmic playing as a starting quarterback and big music fan.

After Brett Favre left the Packers, Rodgers became the one replacing the star quarterback. Fortunately, he managed to meet a lot of people’s expectation. He led the Packers to victory in two preseason games.

“We’re doing some really good things. I think the key is it starts up front. I think the guys—in two games, I haven’t been sacked, really haven’t been touched—and it gives you a lot of confidence as a passer,” Rodgers said after Green Bay’s 31-21 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night.

Rodgers said he was watching HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” the behind-the-scenes look at Bengals’ training camp while Favre was having his debut with the Vikings on Friday. The next night he also managed to attract enough attention and praise by scoring early and often in the exhibition.
