Rodgers hands off

The Packers took Sunday off to bask in their preseason opener victory over Pittsburgh.   Aaron Rodgers  produced the Packers’ only touchdown  and  led a pair of  scoring drives, as Green Bay topped Pittsburgh 13-9 on Saturday night.  Rodgers  finished  18-for-27 for 168 yards  after Brett Favre played the first four series’ and ended 2-for-7 for seven yards on the night.  Green  Bay  was making  its first-ever  appearance at  Heinz Field, having not played  in Pittsburgh since a 1998 trip to Three Rivers Stadium. Packers coach  Mike  McCarthy, a native of Pittsburgh, returned home for the first time as an  NFL head coach and left with a victory in his team’s preseason debut. The Packers host the Seattle Seahawks in an exhibition game next Saturday  night.
