Green Bay Packers outclass Cleveland Browns

Rodgers stars as Packers outclass Browns

Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes tonight as the Green Bay Packers moved to 4-2 in the NFL with a 31-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

Green Bay were quick to stamp their authority on the clash, as Rodgers found Jermichael Finley with a touchdown pass less than three minutes into the first quarter.

Eddie Lacy than finished off a prolonged Packers drive for their second touchdown late in the first quarter, with Cleveland's only response before half-time coming courtesy of a Billy Cundiff field goal.

Cundiff chipped away at Green Bay's lead early in the third quarter, but any notion of a Browns comeback was soon vanquished when Rodgers picked out Jordy Nelson in the end zone.

Cleveland kept pressing and were rewarded with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but there was still time for Rodgers to get involved again as Jarrett Boykin's 20-yard touchdown reception added gloss to the scoreline.
