The Packers powered past the Browns today earning an easy 31-3 victory. After going down 3-0 in the first quarter, the Packers scored 31 unanswered points to cap off the win. Aaron Rodgers went 15 of 20 for 246 yards and 3 touchdowns, one each to Donald Driver, Spencer Havner, and James Jones. Ryan Grant carried the ball 27 times, and averaged over 5 yards per carry on his way to 148 total rushing yards. He added a rushing touchdown as well. The offensive line showed up today and didn't allow a sack. On defense the Packers shut down everyone. The defense gave up 81 pass yards and only 48 rushing yards. Charles Woodson had his fourth interception of the season and also forced a fumble. The defense also took Josh Cribbs completely out of the game; he fumbled the ball after his only reception.
Jermicheal Finley went down with an injury in the first half and did not return to the game. Ahman Green did not suit up, neither did Mark Tauscher. The Packers take on Minnesota at home next week.
The Packers did exactly what they had to do against a team with virtually no weapons--keep the ball away from Cribbs. Now we'll have to wait to see what they can do with Peterson. Favre will not beat the Packers through the air!!
