Hobbled Aaron Rodgers helps Packers dissect Seahawks D
(AP) — Packers receiver Jordy Nelson sounds as if he's running out of superlatives to describe quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Nothing surprises Nelson anymore about Rodgers, not even when the two-time NFL MVP is playing with two sore legs.
Rodgers threw for 246 yards and three scores, including two to Nelson , and dissected Seattle's top-ranked defense in a 38-10 win on Sunday over the Seahawks.
[...] playing with a sore left hamstring, Rodgers said he hurt his right calf while throwing a tone-setting, 66-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams on the game's opening drive.
Seattle's defense looked terrible in its first game without former All-Pro safety Earl Thomas, who has a broken leg.
The Packers dominated, mixing in a few blitzes and getting effective pressure on Wilson most of the game against a shaky offensive line.
With two more touchdown passes, Rodgers and Nelson have connected on 57 TD passes overall, tying Hall of Famer Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman for the most touchdown passes from a quarterback to a receiver in franchise history.
INJURIES:
Besides Rodgers, tight end Jared Cook left the game with a chest injury following an incompletion deep down the left sideline with 1:55 left in the second quarter.
