GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers receiver Jordy Nelson sounds as if hes running out of superlatives to describe quarterback Aaron Rodgers.Nothing surprises Nelson anymore about Rodgers, not even when the two-time NFL MVP is playing with two sore legs.Rodgers threw for 246 yards and three scores, including two to Nelson , and dissected Seattles top-ranked defense in a 38-10 win on Sunday over the Seahawks.Already playing with a sore left hamstring, Rodgers said he hurt his right calf while throwing a tone-setting, 66-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams on the games opening drive.Rodgers trademark mobility might be limited, but his arm is working just fine. He finished 18 of 23.I mean theres nothing that he cant do, Nelson said. Weve seen it for years now, in practice, in games. So as hard as it is -- in a good way he cant impress us because he does it all the time.The Packers (7-6) won their third straight following a four-game losing streak to keep their playoff hopes alive . They stayed two games back of first-place Detroit in the NFC North, with their final three regular-season games coming against divisional opponents.Dont think for one minute that Rodgers plans to miss any time.Thats football. You deal with injuries, you know. Id like to talk about the win -- youre talking about my injuries, Rodgers told reporters. Im not missing games, so ... weve won three in a row.Seattles defense looked terrible in its first game without former All-Pro safety Earl Thomas, who has a broken leg.But Russell Wilsons career-high five interceptions might have been the most startling disappointment for the Seahawks (8-4-1). Wilson was 22 of 39 for 240 yards and one touchdown.There were just too many in there and we dont have to talk about each play, Wilson said. Obviously, we cant turn the ball over and I put that on me.Well, not entirely.Three interceptions deflected off his receivers hands, including one that also caromed off Doug Baldwins helmet to cornerback Damarious Randall. Seattle coughed up six turnovers overall.It was a stunning turn for Seattle a week after blowing out Carolina 40-7. The Seahawks missed out on a chance to clinch the NFC West following Arizonas loss to Miami earlier Sunday.This is such a rare occurrence for our team, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Its just something at this time we have to push behind us and get going.Other notes and takeaways from Sundays game:MISSING THOMAS: Green Bay gained 330 yards in Seattles first game without Thomas. Replacement Steven Terrell had three tackles.We just didnt have his hustle out there, safety Kam Chancellor said. Earl has a hustle about him, we just didnt have him.DEFENSE RESTS: Most of the focus about defense going into the game was about Seattles league-best unit, but the Seahawks gave up a season high in points. The Packers dominated, mixing in a few blitzes and getting effective pressure on Wilson most of the game against a shaky offensive line. It was an impressive showing without starting linebackers Nick Perry (hand) and Blake Martinez (knee). Outside linebacker Clay Matthews (shoulder) was limited mainly to passing downs.OUT IN FRONT: Green Bay had a 21-3 lead at halftime, reminiscent of the way the Packers built big leads on opponents in recent dominant seasons. Theyve scored first each time in their three-game win streak. The Packers look nothing like the team that suffered back-to-back blowout losses at Tennessee and Washington a few weeks ago.DYNAMIC DUO: With two more touchdown passes, Rodgers and Nelson have connected on 57 TD passes overall, tying Hall of Famer Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman for the most touchdown passes from a quarterback to a receiver in franchise history.Its a reminder, honestly, to me, (of) the time and the work that we both put in, individually and together on the practice field, in the meeting rooms, on the sideline and just reaping the benefits for it, Nelson said.INJURIES: Besides Rodgers, tight end Jared Cook left the game with a chest injury following an incompletion deep down the left sideline with 1:55 left in the second quarter. Receiver Randall Cobb left briefly in the second quarter with a left ankle injury.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAPBroncos Jerseys China .Gather a group of friends, or find a league to join online, draft your team, set your lineup and compete in a number of different formats.

Cheap Broncos Jerseys . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.Prime Bank Cricket Club have pulled their franchise out of Bangladesh Cricket Leagues first-class tournament for the 2016-17 season, their general secretary Tanjil Chowdhury has said. He stated that the decision came in protest of unavailability of top players from their region, poor facilities and the tournaments lack of context in the domestic scene, and they had informed the BCB about it.Prime Bank Cricket Club has decided to pull out of the upcoming edition of Bangladesh Cricket League, Tanjil wrote in a Facebook post. This may have surprised and upset our fans, wellwishers and cricket lovers. We would like to clarify that this decision was reached due to a culmination of few factors and issues, which we feel obliged to notify our stakeholders.PBCC feels that the spirit of alleviating domestic cricket standard especially the longer format is not aligned with the current editions of BCL which we have formally communicated to the BCB. We are deeply saddened by the circumstances that tantamounted (sic) to this critical decision, but at the same time feel that it was timely to do so as a matter of protest.BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury said that they were aware of Prime Banks issues but they would only decide on the matter once the BCB president Nazmul Hassan returns to the country.They (Prime Bank) have raised some issues and informed us. The BCB president is out of country and we will decide after he returns to the country, Nizamuddin said.Taanjil further explained that the lack of star players in their South Zone franchise due to several reasons contributed to the pull out.ddddddddddddThe presence of national team players in BCL is far and few, often getting missed out due to holiday, international duties and injuries or rest periods, he wrote. That means we never got the full strength of our zonal team as on pen and paper.The youngsters [are] mostly inexperienced and few senior players miss out on the opportunity to play with national capped players.The standard of ground and quality/conditions of cricket in general is very poor. Starting with facilities and non cricketing season to name a few.He mentioned that budgetary allocation was also limiting them from financing more than two teams participation. Already their teams played in the Dhaka Premier League and last seasons BCL, which spilled over to 2016. But Tanjil informed that they were pulling out only for this season.We have not retired our franchise, we merely declined to participate in upcoming edition citing the above mentioned reasons, he wrote.The BCL was supposed to be held from September 20 but now that the Afghanistan ODIs have been scheduled from September 25, it has thrown the tournament into uncertainty as the BCL was being scheduled as a preparatory tournament for the England tour.
