Green Bay - Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers actually thought there was room for improvement after the Packers beat the Vikings, 42-10 Thursday night in Lambeau.

"Offensively, we [were] a little stagnant tonight," said Rodgers in his post-game press conference. "We didn’t have a lot of attempts in the passing game and didn’t execute very well on third down. But the bright spots: we were 4-for-4 in the red zone and we got Eddie [Lacy] and James [Starks] going.”

Rodgers also threw his 200th career touchdown pass - to rookie Davante Adams - in the second quarter of this, his 99th game. He reached the 200 milestone the second fastest of any NFL player. Dan Marino achieved 200 TDs in 89 games.

“My 100th touchdown was in Atlanta and James [Jones] threw the ball about 80 rows up, and 200 was to Davante [Adams]," said Rodgers. "[It was] his first touchdown [and] I’m not going to take his ball, so hopefully I can get to 300 and throw it to a guy who’s caught a touchdown before so I can keep that one.”

Rodgers also noted that running back Eddie Lacy was very effiecient with his 13 carries.

“It was good for him and the offensive line to have the kind of day we had," said Rodgers. "We had 160-ish [rushing] yards, which is very good, our best output of the season. Eddie [went] over 100 yards, we needed that. The more we can get him going, the more play-action comes off of that. He’s a bruising back and we need to find a way to keep him healthy and keep his legs juiced, and that’s why we’re going to use James [Starks] and DuJuan [Harris] at times. But anytime you can get Eddie in space like we did today, good things happen.”
