Packers pound Vikings as ailing Bridgewater sits out
Print Edition
GREEN Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for three touchdowns to lead the Packers to a 42-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.
The game at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field kicked off the action in week five of the National Football League season, and with the Vikings down to third-string quarterback Christian Ponder because of injuries to Matt Cassel and Teddy Bridgewater, it was all Packers. Rodgers finished with 156 passing yards, connecting on 12 of 17 attempts. Eddie Lacy had a season-high 105 rushing yards and two TDs on 13 carries for the Packers, who improved to 3-2.
Ponder rushed for a TD and completed 22 of his 44 passes for 222 yards and two interceptions for Minnesota, which was unable to build on the 41-28 victory over Atlanta that was engineered by Bridgewater before he departed his first NFL start last Sunday with a sprained ankle. He had claimed the starter’s role after Cassel suffered a season-ending broken foot.
