>>Perfect Packers Pound Raiders

(Green Bay, WI)  --  The Packers ran their record to 13-and-0 with a 46-16 rout of the Raiders.  Aaron Rodgers threw for 281 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in less than three quarters to help Green Bay become the second defending Super Bowl champion to begin the following year with 13 straight wins.  The victory came at a cost as star wide receiver Greg Jennings was carted to the locker room due to a knee injury in the third quarter.  The Packers secured a bye in the first round of the playoffs with the win.  Carson Palmer passed for 245 yards, a touchdown and four interceptions for Oakland.  The Raiders have dropped two straight to fall a game behind the Broncos for first in the AFC West.
