GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers handed off to Eddie Lacy, turned and started jogging to the sideline before his running back had crossed the goal line for a 1-yard touchdown. It was as if the Green Bay quarterback knew what was going to happen.Just another first-half score and big early lead for the Packers at Lambeau Field.Rodgers passed for 341 yards and three touchdowns, Lacy accounted for two scores, and the Packers defence stuffed the high-octane Philadelphia Eagles for a 53-20 win Sunday.This is not easy, Rodgers said.It sure looks that way, though. The Packers (7-3) blew out another opponent in the cold comfort of home after a fast start.Theres a lot of preparation that goes into it, Rodgers added. It takes 11 guys to win, to do the job to make something like that happen.The matchup of NFC contenders quickly turned lopsided after Green Bay took a 30-6 halftime lead. Rodgers threw for two touchdowns in the first half, while Micah Hyde scored on a 75-yard punt return.Julius Peppers finished off the Eagles by returning Mark Sanchezs pass 52 yards for a 39-6 lead in the third quarter, the second interception return for a score this season for the veteran.Its good to see that. He pretty much got a gift, linebacker Clay Matthews said with a smile.Philadelphia (7-3) was held to 11 points below its NFC-leading scoring average by a Packers defence rejuvenated since Matthews started getting more time at inside linebacker. Matthews finished with five tackles and a sack after rushing from his traditional outside spot unabated to Sanchez.Green Bays offence was in good hands again with Rodgers, who broke Tom Bradys NFL record of 288 straight passes at home without an interception. Rodgers finished 22 of 36.The Packers set another record by putting up at least 28 points in a first half for the fourth straight home game. Theyve outscored opponents 128-9 before halftime during that stretch.We felt strongly that this game was going to come down to big plays, the big-play opportunities, coach Mike McCarthy said, and I thought our players did an excellent job in all three phases.Playing with big leads allows the Packers defence to focus on the pass and hone in on opposing quarterbacks.Sanchez flopped in his second start since taking over for the injured Nick Foles. He was 26 of 44 for 346 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.To make things worse, Sanchez couldnt corral a high snap out of the shotgun with an empty backfield in the fourth quarter. Cornerback Casey Hayward scooped up the loose ball and jogged 49 yards into the end zone with an escort of two blockers to make it 53-13.The Packers also got to Sanchez early with sacks on Philadelphias first three drives.They played outstanding and we played pretty poorly, Sanchez said.It was the Eagles worst loss under second-year coach Chip Kelly. The previous low was a 52-20 thrashing at Denver in Week 4 last season, and Kelly is now the only coach in team history to allow 50 points twice.None of us played where we needed to play against this team, Kelly said.The Eagles finally reached the end zone after Sanchez hit receiver Jordan Matthews for a 10-yard touchdown pass to make it 39-13 with 2:21 left in the third quarter.The Packers had no such problems.Rodgers found Jordy Nelson streaking down the right sideline for a 64-yard completion on the games third play from scrimmage — the pass attempt that allowed Rodgers to break Bradys record.Rodgers hit Davante Adams for a 6-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter. Nelson hauled in a 27-yard scoring pass with 10:39 left in the second, making the grab while delicately navigating the sideline near the pylon to make it 24-3.NOTES: Nelson finished with four catches for 109 yards, while Randall Cobb had 10 receptions for 129 yards. ... Nelson appeared to reach down at his right hamstring after making the Lambeau Leap on his touchdown, but McCarthy said afterward his top receiver seemed fine. ... Lacy also turned a 32-yard catch into a touchdown. ... Eagles RB LeSean McCoy had 88 yards on 23 attempts.___AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi contributed to this story.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Toni Kroos Jersey . -- Louisville backup quarterback Reggie Bonnafon ran for two touchdowns and passed for another and the No. Leon Goretzka Jersey .S. routed Sweden 7-0 Sunday to win its fourth straight title and seventh overall under-18 world championship.

Joshua Kimmich Germany Jersey . The actual winners on transfer deadline day are those clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City who were well prepared and managed to get their main incoming business done well ahead of the transfer window closing. Tottenham were able to add seven players by spending over 100 million pounds and also ensured maximum return for the Gareth Bale transfer to Real Madrid by managing the move superbly. Ilkay Gundogan Jersey . -- Arizona pitcher Bronson Arroyo is expected to miss a week to 10 days because of a back injury.PITTSBURGH – Its fitting Marcus Stroman is taking Brandon Morrows place on the Blue Jays 40-man roster. A top pitching prospect, one who the ball club is pinning some of its future hopes, takes the spot of a veteran who once was viewed as a future ace but who, to this point, hasnt realized his potential and may never. Stroman threw his first major league pitch on Sunday, facing four Pirates hitters in the eighth inning of a 7-2 win less than 48 hours after Morrow may have thrown his last pitch for Toronto. That is if Morrow requires season-ending surgery on a torn tendon sheath at the base of his right index finger. Stromans just beginning. Morrow is in the final guaranteed year of his contract and if, for a second consecutive year, his season has ended shortly after it started, its hard to believe the cash-conscious Blue Jays would pick up the $10-million club option it holds on Morrow for 2015. The 23-year-old Stroman, whos started at the Double-A and Triple-A levels dating back to last season, will begin his big league career in the bullpen. Its an area in which Toronto needs help. Since the second game of an April 17 doubleheader in Minnesota, Blue Jays relievers have combined to allow 40 earned runs on 55 hits and 33 walks in 48 1/3 innings pitched. The bullpen has blown saves in six of the last 15 games. It was a strange scene for Stroman. He arrived at the PNC Park and almost immediately was whisked into manager John Gibbons office, where the skipper had called a meeting with his struggling relief corps. The rookie was saying all the right things."I honestly think we have one of the best bullpens in baseball between guys like Sergio (Santos), Casey (Janssen), (Brett) Cecil, everyone thats in the pen dominates," said Stroman. "Its just a rough patch theyre going through but I have no doubt in my mind that theyll get through it and get back to where they were last year."Stroman is coming off his most dominant start of his professional career. On Tuesday in Buffalo, pitchiing against Louisville, he struck out 10 Bats hitters and didnt allow a hit over six innings.dddddddddddd During one stretch, Stroman retired 16-straight. In five starts for the Bisons, Stroman has two wins, a 1.69 ERA, a 1.088 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings. The WHIP is even more impressive when you consider Stroman has allowed almost a hit per inning. Hes walked only six, a welcome walks per nine inning percentage for a staff whose 124 bases on balls is second most in the majors. "Fastball command has definitely been a lot better; Ive been keeping the ball down in the zone much better," said Stroman. "The development of my change has been huge and I just feel more comfortable, more settled in. That was my first big-league spring, I feel like I got ahead of myself sometimes, but I feel real comfortable, I feel like Im ready to go out there and pitch well." Stroman found out about his big league call up in an unusual way. The Bisons played an afternoon game on Saturday, which gave Stroman an opportunity to venture with his girlfriend to Niagara Falls for the evening. He thinks he missed a call from Blue Jays farm director Charlie Wilson and when he did check his phone, the first message he picked up was a congratulatory one from his mother. "Shes been saying for a little bit, Oh, Ive got a feeling," said Stroman. "Im like, Mom, relax." Stroman didnt sleep on Saturday night, he was excited, and he was out of bed by five oclock on Sunday morning to meet the car service driving him from Buffalo to Pittsburgh. "No sleep," he said. "But I feel wide awake." Stromans addition to the starting rotation seems like an eventuality but hes not going to dwell on his role. "Im just happy to be here," said Stroman. "Ive had experience in the bullpen, Im not worried about it, I feel like I can come in, thats something Ive done before in the past and thats something Im comfortable with, so its not like its completely new."
