Aaron Rodgers threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns in his return from a concussion and the Green Bay Packers beat the struggling New York Giants 45-17 at Lambeau Field.
The loss leaves the Giants (9-6) clinging to fading playoff hopes and wondering if there was a hangover effect from the previous week;s collapse against Philadelphia. New York;s turnover issues continued as the Giants lost two fumbles and Eli Manning threw four interceptions.
John Kuhn ran for two touchdowns and caught a pass for a score for the Packers (9-6), who came into the game needing to win their final two games to make the playoffs.
Rodgers sat out last week;s loss at New England with his second concussion of the season.
In Chicago Troy Polamalu Jersey , Jay Cutler threw three touchdown passes, Matt Forte ran for 113 yards and the Chicago Bears closed in on a first-round bye Brett Keisel Jersey , beating the playoff-bound New York Jets 38-34.
The Jets (10-5) lost for a third time in four games, but clinched their second straight postseason trip under coach Rex Ryan when Jacksonville lost 20-17 in overtime to Washington.
The win was the seventh in eight games for the Bears (11-4) Frank Gore Jersey , who blew an early 10-point lead and regrouped in the second half after being picked apart by Mark Sanchez early. Now, they;re in good position to lock up that bye, a scenario that seemed unlikely at best when they stumbled into their bye-week break.
Cutler completed 13 of 25 passes for 215 yards, with Johnny Knox catching four for 92 with two touchdowns.
Sanchez was intercepted by Chris Harris with about a minute left, ending the Jets; comeback bid.
That;s all the news for today.
