ST. LOUIS - Other than Greg Jennings' 50-yard touchdown catch to win the season opener two weeks ago, the Packers' big-play offense had been non-existent in the earlygoing this season.
That changed on Sunday in St. Louis.
The Packers' first three touchdowns in their 36-17 victory were all set up by explosive gains in the passing game, one a spectacular catch by Donald Driver and the other two by Jennings. Those three plays accounted for 149 of Aaron Rodgers' 269 passing yards on the day.

"The first two weeks, we had a lot of drops in those games, one that we won and one that we lost.
