Quick Take: Packers-Browns

It was over when ...

Aaron Rodgers had his way with the overmatched Browns defense.

Charles Woodson forced a Joshua Cribbs fumble on the Browns' opening possession of the second half. Down 21-3, Cleveland had just taken over after a missed Green Bay field goal and had a chance to seize momentum and get back in the game. Instead, Cribbs turned the ball over and the Packers never looked back en route to the blowout victory.

Game ball

Aaron Rodgers was extremely efficient and did a far better job of eluding pressure and getting rid of the ball this week than he had for much of the season. He was not sacked a single time (entering the game he had been sacked a league-leading 25 times) and completed 75 percent of his passes, while throwing for three touchdowns.

Key Stat

The Packers outgained the Browns 460 to 139 in total yards. That is perhaps the best illustration of just how lopsided this game was in Cleveland.

Noteworthy

Green Bay TE Jermichael Finley left in the first quarter with a knee injury and did not return. His replacement, Spencer Havner, scored the Packers' first touchdown. ... Packers RB Ryan Grant had a season-high 148 rushing yards. ... After completing his first five passes for 55 yards, Derek Anderson connected on just seven of his next 24 throws for 44 yards.
