Green Bay keeps rolling, blowing out The Bristol Bay Vipers 48-17. Aaron Rodgers lights up a weak defensive group. Rodgers completed 16 of 23 passes for over 250 yards, and added 5 touchdowns passes. All of them to different targets and hit 8 different receivers.
The Vipers defense had no answer for anything, they couldnt stop the running game or the passing game. Ryan Grant ran over them and around them, rushing for 130 yards on 21 rushes.
For the Vipers, the only thing they can hold their heads up about is that they had no problem moving the ball, but 4 turnovers cost them 3 great scoring opportunities, if they could have capitalize on them it might have been a different outcome. The defense will need to get its act together in a hurry. Next week they will host the 2-0 Pittsburgh Steelers.
