Packers win, Rodgers matches career high with 3 TDs
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 11 - 2009

Aaron Rodgers matched a career high with three touchdown passes as Green Bay beat the Detroit Lions 34-12 Thursday to give the Packers three straight wins and improve their playoff prospects.
The Lions lost their sixth straight game on Thanksgiving, setting a franchise record, and had an emotional setback after their biggest comeback win since 1957.
Matthew Stafford, playing with a sore non-throwing shoulder, threw one touchdown pass and four interceptions in a rookie-like performance, after passing for five scores in Sunday's win over Cleveland. Detroit trailed the Browns by 21 before coming all the way back.
The Lions looked as if they were building off that momentum by recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff and with Stafford's TD pass to Calvin Johnson. But the Packers scored 27 unanswered points in the second and third quarter to turn the game into a familiar rout.
Cowboys 24, Raiders 7: At Arlington, Texas, Tony Romo snapped the Dallas Cowboys from their offensive slumber by leading them to a season-high 494 yards, with Miles Austin delivering 145 yards and a touchdown.
By winning for the sixth time in seven games, Dallas is guaranteed of going into the final month of the season atop the NFC East.
Oakland and its new starting quarterback, Bruce Gradkowski, were coming off a victory over division-leading Cincinnati just a few days before, but couldn't even cross midfield in the first half. The Raiders' lone highlight was top draft pick Darrius Heyward-Bey making the first touchdown catch of his career.
Broncos 26, Giants 6: At Denver, Kyle Orton steered six scoring drives, Matt Prater kicked four field goals and safety Brian Dawkins led a ferocious defense as Denver beat New York. Elvis Dumervil dumped Eli Manning twice, extending his NFL-leading sack total to 14. Dumervil's second one came in the fourth quarter and resulted in a fumble that sealed Denver's first win since Oct. 19.
Hosting their first Thanksgiving game since 1963 in the American Football League, the Broncos returned to the physical style of play that marked their 6-0 start and ditched the sieve that was their defense during their four-game skid.
The Broncos halted their freefall and pulled within a half game of American Football Conference West leader San Diego.
