Rodgers flips 5 TD passes in 38-28 win
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers thinks his offense is just getting started.
Just imagine what he could accomplish with a full complement of healthy weapons.
Rodgers dissected another defense in painstakingly methodical fashion, throwing for 333 yards and five touchdowns in Green Bay’s 38-28 win on Monday night over the Kansas City Chiefs.
“I just think we’re scratching the surface a little bit,” Rodgers said.
Randall Cobb, who is playing while recovering from a sprained right shoulder, had three touchdown catches. James Jones, who was signed before the season to replace injured veteran Jordy Nelson, had seven catches for 139 yards.
The Packers (3-0) have done most of their damage the last two games with wideout Davante Adams sidelined by a sprained ankle.
The offense is still churning out points.
“Aaron is a phenomenal player ... and playing great football,” McCarthy said with a laugh. “I’ll just keep saying it.”
Rodgers gives credit to his offensive line. He was sacked once and was under duress for spurts from Chiefs pressure.
