GREEN BAY, Wis. Delanie Walker Womens Jersey . -- The timing is back for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the rest of Green Bays offense.The Packers pass defense might need a little work, though.Rodgers threw for 205 yards and four touchdowns, including two in the first half to Jordy Nelson, and the Packers snapped out of their offensive funk before holding off the Detroit Lions for a 34-27 win Sunday.Rodgers was 15 of 24, leading the Packers to touchdowns on their first three series. Nelson had 101 yards on six catches, returning to the form that made him one of the NFLs best receivers before missing the 2015 season with a knee injury.Just got on the same page. Hitting Jordy for some big plays helps, Rodgers said. Jordy and I connected. Whenever were doing that, it kind of opens other things up for the offense.They moved the ball on the Lions short-handed defense with ease in the first half. The Packers (2-1) led 31-10 at halftime before the Lions slowly chipped away.Marvin Jones 35-yard touchdown catch with 3:34 left got Detroit (1-2) within seven. But Rodgers had a critical 11-yard run on third-and-8 from the Packers 27 with 3:22 left to effectively seal the win.Jones had a career-high 205 yards on six receptions. Matthew Stafford passed for 385 yards and three scores for the Lions, who held advantages in total yardage (418-324) and time of possession, holding the ball for 35 minutes.But the Packers burned the secondary with big plays to build a big lead, and Eddie Lacy ran for 103 yards on 17 carries.Obviously it was a difficult situation. We put ourselves in that situation. On offense, we didnt score enough points in the in the first half, Stafford said.

The Packers defense was also missing four starters, including linebacker Clay Matthews.Stafford found holes over the middle of the field. He connected with Jones for a 23-yard completion on the first play from scrimmage in the second half to the Detroit 46.GET DEFENSIVEThe Packers allowed Detroit to convert on eight of 14 third-down tries, a problem that McCarthy planned to focus on during the bye week.But Green Bays staunch run defense had another big day, albeit against a Lions offense playing without injured tailback Ameer Abdullah.

He stiff-armed cornerback Josh Hawkins before sprinting untouched 45 yards into the end zone.I feel like what we did in the second half was to be commended, but obviously we didnt get it done, Jones said. The first half, we didnt play up to our standards and we came back and we fought, but we ran out of time and it wasnt enough.WORKING THE MIDDLEThe Packers offense accomplished two of McCarthys bigger goals for this week: Receivers worked the middle of the field, and Lacy got more carries in the running game.Nelson was lined up in the slot on his 8-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, when Rodgers pump-faked, then stepped up in the pocket to find Nelson.Lacy looked rejuvenated as he bounced off defenders for a 23-yard run in the second quarter.INJURY REPORTLions: S Tavon Wilson left in the first quarter with a neck injury. It was another blow for a defense already without lineman Ezekiel Ansah and linebacker DeAndre Levy.Packers: TE Jared Cook went to the locker room with a right ankle injury after getting tangled up with a defender at 11:35 of the second quarter. ...

The Montreal Canadiens announced on Friday that the veteran forward will return to the teams line-up on Saturday night when the Habs visit the Nashville Predators. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- A Tennessee high school basketball team had a culture of hazing and bullying even before three of its players were charged with raping a teammate, according to an investigation into the incident.But the investigation released Friday also said there was no evidence that Hamilton County school officials or Ooltewah High School administrators knew or should have known such an incident would occur.Gatlinburg police say three Ooltewah players assaulted a freshman teammate with a pool cue Dec. 22 in an apparent hazing incident while the team was participating in a holiday tournament. Police have said the pool cue tore through the freshmans clothing and into his rectum, forcing emergency surgery. The three were charged as juveniles with aggravated rape.Hamilton County school officials then commissioned an investigation conducted by attorney Courtney Bullard.Bullard, who conducted 40 interviews, reported that nine Ooltewah players said the team participated in an activity they called racking in before the Gatlinburg incident. When racking in, they said, upperclassmen turned out the lights in the locker room, grabbed a freshman and punched him from the neck down, without the intent to cause injury.Many players described `racking in as horseplay or `boys being boys, Bullard said in her report. This description is indicative of a desensitization and minimization of the behavior and a lack of education on what constitutes hazing.Bullard also said she couldnt substantiate whether coach Andre Montgomery and assistant coach Karl Williams were aware of the hazing and bullying but they certainly were aware of excessive horseplay. But she added that there was no prior culture of sexual harassment on the basketball team and the assailants had no prior history of reported similar conduct.Bullards 24-page report recommended making training on Title IX mandatory for all Hamilton County Deparrtment of Education and school administrators, specifically identifying and addressing bullying, hazing and harassment. Curley Culp Titans Jersey. She also recommended training on proper reporting, and the repercussions for failure to report.Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs.The report provides an opportunity to enhance our practices, provide better support and safety for all our students moving forward, interim Hamilton County Department of Education superintendent Kirk Kelly said. The recommendations will serve as a guide to provide ongoing monitoring and development of best practices.Kelly added that while this has been a difficult time for many, it will mean officials are better positioned in the future to respond to problems.Rick Smith, who was superintendent at the time of the incident, announced in March that he would retire July 1 and take leave effective immediately.Montgomery, Williams and assistant principal Allard Nayadley were charged in Hamilton County with failure to report child sexual abuse to the proper authorities, though charges against Williams were dropped in May.Montgomery was indicted in May on four counts of failing to report child sexual abuse.Nayadley entered a pre-trial diversion program in May. If he complies with terms of that program, which include performing community service and taking a class on mandatory reporting, the charges can be removed from his record. He also recently announced he was resigning.In addition, Gatlinburg police detective Rodney Burns faces aggravated perjury charges in Hamilton County stemming from his testimony in a preliminary hearing for the three Ooltewah High School officials.---Information from: Chattanooga Times Free Press, http://www.timesfreepress.com Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
