>>Packers Top Seahawks
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers defense came up big in the fourth quarter of a 27-17 win in a bruising, physical rematch of last season's NFC title game with the Seattle Seahawks.
The Packers blew a 16-0 lead against the Seahawks in the NFC title game in January. They held on after giving up 13-3 lead at halftime on Sunday.
And in the fourth quarter, with the Packers down 17-16, he orchestrated a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive, capped by a 5-yard scoring pass to Richard Rodgers. A 2-point conversion pass, also to Richard Rodgers, made it 24-17 with 9:28 left.
On Seattle's next drive, Jayrone Elliott made a lunging, one-handed interception of a short pass from Wilson with 6:50 left, one of the rare mistakes in the second half for Seattle's dual-threat quarterback. The Packers (2-0) cashed in with one of Mason Crosby's four field goals on the night for a 10-point lead with 2 minutes remaining.
Russell Wilson was 19 of 30 for 206 yards, while running for 78 yards on 10 carries.
Rodgers finished 25 of 33 for 249 yards and connected with favorite target James Jones for a 29-yard touchdown pass on the game's opening series.
The Packers held Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch to 41 yards on 15 carries.
Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy left the game in the first quarter with a right ankle injury. Backup James Starks kept Packers running game going with 95 yards on 20 carries.
>>Cutler Exits Early, Arizona Pounds Bears
Carson Palmer threw for four touchdowns to lead the Cardinals to a 48-23 victory over the Chicago Bears, who lost Jay Cutler to a pulled hamstring Sunday.
Palmer connected with Larry Fitzgerald for three of his TDs, giving the quarterback seven in two games after returning last week against New Orleans from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that cut short his season after just six games a year ago.
Palmer was 17 of 24 with 185 yards to improve to 15-2 in his last 17 starts. Fitzgerald had 112 yards, and with those three TDs, he matched a career high he set against Philadelphia in the conference final seven years ago.
David Johnson returned the opening kickoff a club-record 108 yards and added a rushing TD, becoming the first player in NFL history with a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown and kickoff-return touchdown in his first two games to begin a career.
Chris Johnson ran for 72 yards with Andre Ellington sidelined by a sprained right knee for the Cardinals (2-0). And, coach Bruce Arians gained a measure of revenge after the Bears hired Marc Trestman over him in January 2013.
Bears QB Jay Cutler walked to the locker room after he was stiff-armed trying to tackle Tony Jefferson on a 26-yard interception return for a touchdown late in the first half.
That was the biggest development in a game that included several big plays and ended with Chicago (0-2) remaining winless under new coach John Fox. The seven touchdowns allowed tied the franchise record for the Bears, who had never given up 48 points in a home game. They also tied a club record with 170 penalty yards.
Cutler completed his first eight passes for 120 yards before getting picked off. He threw a 48-yard touchdown to Josh Bellamy.
Jimmy Clausen was 14 of 23 for 121 yards after Cutler went down.
>>Redskins Best Rams
Matt Jones ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns, an efficient Kirk Cousins avoided turnovers, and the Redskins dominated for a half, then held on to beat the St. Louis Rams 24-10.
Cousins did not throw an interception - his pair of picks a week ago gave him 21 in 15 career games - and was sacked only twice. Jones and Alfred Morris had plenty of room to rumble: Washington outrushed St. Louis 182-67.
Cousins completed 23 for 27 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown.
Rams QB Nick Foles was 17 for 32 for 150 yards.
