NFL Roundup: Rodgers, Packers Pound Colts, 59-24
Aaron Rodgers throw for 195 yards and three touchdowns in the first half of theGreen Bay Packers' 59-24 rout of the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field on Thursday night. Peyton Manning made plenty of big plays against a Packers pass defense at the beginning, but Rodgers was up for an offensive exhibition against one of the NFL's star quarterbacks. Trailing 17-7 early in the second quarter, Rodgers rallied the Packers (2-1) to a 28-17 halftime lead. And the player who ended the game at that position for the Rams, Keith Null, directed a drive that set up Josh Brown's 37-yard field goal on the final play that gave St. Louis a 36-35 exhibition win over the New England Patriots on Thursday night. Bradford, the top pick in this year's draft, was poised and precise in playing the first half. He went 15 for 22 for 189 yards after struggling as a backup in his first two games. But Tom Brady threw touchdown passes on three consecutive drives and the Patriots (2-1) turned a 27-14 deficit into a 35-27 lead.
Philadelphia Eagles second-year tight end Cornelius Ingram had a cyst in the back of his knee drained after undergoing an MRI for knee and calf pain. The Eagles selected Ingram in the fifth round of the 2009 draft. He had missed his entire senior season at Florida with a torn ACL, then sat out last year when he reinjured the knee. I really feel sad when I hear the Colts lost! The Packers are expected this year. Many people think they can do it!
