Offence hums early before Packers hold off Lions 34-27
GREEN BAY, Wis. — The timing is back for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the rest of Green Bay’s offence.
The Packers’ pass defence might need a little work, though.
Rodgers threw for 205 yards and four touchdowns, including two in the first half to Jordy Nelson, and the Packers snapped out of their offensive funk before holding off the Detroit Lions for a 34-27 win Sunday.
Rodgers was 15 of 24, leading the Packers to touchdowns on their first three series. Nelson had 101 yards on six catches, returning to the form that made him one of the NFL’s best receivers before missing the 2015 season with a knee injury.
