Packers stretch unbeaten run to 10

THE Green Bay Packers survived a scare from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before sealing a hard-fought 35-26 win to match their best start to an NFL season in nearly half a century.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers made up for a rare interception when he threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson with 2:55 left on the clock to extend the Packers’ unbeaten run to 10 games, their best start to a season since 1962.

The win saw the Packers remain three wins clear of Detroit in the NFC North standings after the Lions beat the Carolina Panthers 49-35.
