Green Bay Packers NFL 2015 news: Aaron Rodgers shines throwing for five touchdowns in win over Chiefs
The Green Bay Packers are still undefeated in the 2015 regular season of the National Football League (NFL). In their most recent win last Monday, franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers again delivered throwing for five touchdowns.
Rodgers proved why he is the reigning Most Valuable Player (MVP) and currently the highest-paid in the NFL finishing the 38–28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs with 24 completions for 333 yards and an impressive five touchdowns.
Green Bay's victory Monday set a record for Rodgers and extended a streak at their home field at Lambeau Field.
The five-touchdown performance is the fourth for Rodgers in his career which makes him the all-time leader in Packers history in that category, according to ESPN.
ESPN added that since Rodgers did not have an interception facing Kansas City, his streak of not throwing an interception at Lambeau Field is already at 19 games (including playoff games).
Now for the 2015 season, the 31-year-old already has 67 completions for 771 yards with 10 touchdowns and still no interception in three games.
In their game against the Chiefs, Rodgers started hot connecting with wide receivers Ty Montgomery and Randall Cobb for his first two touchdown passes to put the Packers ahead 14–0 in the first quarter.
The four-time Pro Bowler again struck in the second quarter tallying his third touchdown pass with wide receiver James Jones completing the play for the score.
Rodgers was not finished as he again found Cobb in the third and fourth quarter to complete the fourth five-touchdown performance of his career.
Entering the season, the biggest question for the Packers was how they will deal with the loss of last season's leading receiver Jordy Nelson who was ruled out for the year with an injury.
The Packers, under the leadership of Rodgers, have responded very well with a 3–0 record to open the season and are looking as dominant as ever.
Now, they will have the chance to make it four consecutive wins when they hit the road and pay the struggling San Francisco 49ers a visit on Oct. 4.
