GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers’ record remains perfect. The fact that their play has been far from flawless remains a constant source<br />
of motivation for Aaron Rodgers.<br />
Rodgers threw three touchdowns, including a career-long 93-yarder to Jordy Nelson, and the Packers rolled to a 24-3 victory over the St. Louis<br />
Rams on Sunday. With Sunday’s loss by NFC North rival <strong>Detroit</strong>, the Packers (6-0) are the last unbeaten team left in the <strong>NFL</strong> this season.<br />
Rodgers threw for 310 yards, delivering touchdowns to Nelson, James Jones and Donald Driver.<br />
Sam Bradford was 28 of 44 for 321 yards with an interception for the Rams (0-5), who were <strong>com</strong>ing off their bye week. Rams running back Steven<br />
Jackson had 18 carries for 96 yards.<br />
The Packers were wearing blue-and-gold uniforms designed to replicate a 1929 design, but Rodgers’ ability to scramble out of trouble and make<br />
big plays was anything but a throwback to the days of leather helmets. Rodgers did offer a wholehearted endorsement of the third uniform earlier in<br />
the week, saying the pants were among the most <strong>com</strong>fortable football pants he’d ever worn.<br />
As Rodgers kept rolling, the Packers continued to brush off a fresh batch of injuries.<br />
Green Bay got right tackle Bryan Bulaga back from a knee injury after the 2010 first-round pick missed the previous two games. But the Packers<br />
will have to live without veteran left tackle Chad Clifton indefinitely after he injured his hamstring in last Sunday’s victory at Atlanta.<br />
Second-year player Marshall Newhouse took over for Clifton, but the Rams couldn’t get much pressure on Rodgers -- and when they did, he<br />
simply spun away.<br />
The Packers also were banged up at safety. Already missing Pro Bowl safety Nick Collins -- out for the season after sustaining a neck injury in<br />
<strong>Week</strong> 2 -- fellow safety Morgan Burnett had to play Sunday’s game with a huge club on his broken right hand.<br />
Green Bay’s secondary took another blow in the third quarter when cornerback Sam Shields sustained a head injury after he picked off a Bradford<br />
pass in the end zone and was hit hard. McCarthy said Shields was still being evaluated after the game.<br />
Trailing 3-0 and facing a fourth-and-3 play near the end of the first quarter, the Rams went for it and Bradford threw in<strong>com</strong>plete. The Packers<br />
got the ball back and gambled on fourth down as well, going for it on fourth-and-1 at the 50. James Starks burst through the line for a 15-yard gain.<br />
Rodgers showed his mastery of play action on the next play, faking a handoff to Starks on the right side, rolling to his left and delivering a perfect<br />
pass to Jones in the end zone for a 35-yard touchdown and 10-0 lead.<br />
After a Rams punt pinned the Packers at their own 7, Rodgers got the best of former teammate Al Harris on his big play to Nelson. Rodgers got<br />
the veteran cornerback to bite on a fake and then threw a rainbow to the wide-open Nelson for an easy score and a <strong>17</strong>-0 lead.<br />
Rodgers put together another drive toward the end of the second quarter, capitalizing on the threat of his running ability to finish it off. On<br />
second-and-goal at the 7, Rodgers appeared to make a run for the end zone -- then pulled up and flipped the ball to Driver for a touchdown with<br />
1:51 left before halftime.<br />
