Packers win game, lose Jennings while clinching first-round bye

Posted:

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Aaron Rodgers threw for 281 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in less than three full quarters' worth of work, Ryan Grant had two touchdowns rushing and Charles Woodson picked off a pass against his former team as the Green Bay Packers trounced the Oakland Raiders 46-16 on Sunday.

With the win, the Packers ran their record to 13-0 -- leaving them only three games short of completing a perfect regular season. And they did it with a near-perfect performance.

Carson Palmer threw for 245 yards with a touchdown and four interceptions for the Raiders (7-6), who looked like anything but legitimate contenders in the AFC West.

The biggest concern for the Packers was an apparent left knee injury to wide receiver Greg Jennings in the third quarter. Packers defensive lineman Ryan Pickett also walked to the locker room after sustaining a head injury in the third quarter.
