GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordy Nelson tossed the ball high into the air after catching his second touchdown pass of the day, a gesture that passes for a rare display of emotion for the workmanlike wide receiver.The Green Bay Packers offense is having fun again heading into an early bye week.Aaron Rodgers threw for 205 yards and four touchdowns, including two in the first half to Nelson, and the Packers built a big early lead before holding off the Detroit Lions for a 34-27 win Sunday.Coming into this week, we felt that as an offense that we just werent having enough fun. We wanted to bring some extra energy to the game, Nelson said.Rodgers was 15 of 24, leading the Packers (2-1) 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.Just like back in 2014, when the Rodgers-to-Nelson combination was one of the best passing game tandems in the NFL.There is still a lot of work to do for the Packers to get back to that level of production. Still, this was the just kind of performance that the offense needed to shake off the struggles from the 17-14 loss in Week 2 to Minnesota.Im one that usually doesnt show too much emotion. Id rather just the hand the ball in and continue on, Nelson said. But if thats what it takes for guys to feel that energy . I mean, it does.MARVELOUS MARVINThe Packers led 31-10 at halftime before the Lions (1-2) 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 about 3 minutes left to effectively seal the win.Jones had a career-high 205 yards on six receptions and two scores. He gave the Lions a boost going into halftime with a 73-yard touchdown catch , during which Jones 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.TOO LITTLE, TOO LATEThe Lions almost pulled off another comeback after rallying to beat Indianapolis 39-35 in the season opener.Matthew Stafford passed for 385 yards and three scores with one interception for the Lions, who had advantages in total yardage (418-324) and time of possession, holding the ball for 35 minutes.No question, theres going to be good stuff we did and theres going to be some negative stuff, Stafford said. Im going to look as hard as anybody in the mirror and find out what I can do to be better to help our team win.PACK IS BACKSo much for the fuss over the Packers struggling offense.Coach Mike McCarthy and Rodgers heard questions about the out-of-sync passing game following the loss to Minnesota. The Packers burned Detroits secondary with big plays to build a big lead, and Eddie Lacy ran for 103 yards on 17 carries.Offensively, the focus was to be a good, healthy mix of run and pass, so we accomplished that today, McCarthy said.GET DEFENSIVEThe Lions gained chunks of yardage in the second half after being forced to play catch-up following Green Bays big early lead. The Packers defense was also missing four starters, including linebacker Clay Matthews.But Green Bays staunch run defense had another big day, albeit against a Lions offense playing without injured tailback Ameer Abdullah. Detroit managed just 50 yards on 23 carries, with a team-high 38 yards on 10 carries by Dwayne Washington.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 Raptors traded Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes.USA allrounder Timroy Allen has said the experience gained while playing for the 2016 Caribbean Premier League champions Jamaica Tallawahs was a key factor in his match-winning half-century that helped USA to a one-wicket win over Italy at the WCL Division Four in Los Angeles. Allen credited the Tallawahs coaching staff, led by Paul Nixon, for fine-tuning parts of his game and building confidence levels after having spent nearly three years away from the USA national team leading into Division Four.The batting stance Im using right now is from the CPL coaches, Allen told ESPNcricinfo after making 53 off 27 balls in Sundays victory. A lot of that stuff comes from there. Hitting the ball, striking the ball, being able to stay confident in yourself and back your ability to clear the boundary at any given time. I tell myself that at any given time I could get 10 runs out of one over and consistently and repeatedly I keep telling myself that. So I dont put any pressure, just get the ones and the twos.Allen had previously made 51 not out off 26 balls against Italy three years ago in a 74-run win at 2013 WCL Division Three in Bermuda. On Sunday, he arrived at the end of the 26th over with USA at 107 for 5 in the chase of 186 in 41 overs. Allen struck two fours and two sixes early in his innings to reduce their target to 17 off seven overs.The wickets are great to bat on, Allen said. The guys at this level, theyre not going to be that consistent where theyre gonna bowl six good balls so you just have to be patient and wait for the bad ball and thats all I did today.We were in a crucial position but at some point one of the senior guys are going to have to step up. A win is a win, Im just a llittle disappointed I wasnt able to finish the game so Ill just have to go back and make sure the next time Im in the situation again, I put my head down and finish it for us.ddddddddddddAllen said he feels the USA batting lineup is capable of posting huge totals with the small boundaries being used at Woodley Park, with Wright Cricket Field the smallest featuring 55-yard boundaries straight down the ground.Were capable of making 400 runs in this tournament so if were chasing 180-200 runs, we shouldnt have any problem with it, Allen said. The situation we were put in today, the wicket was really good. Its just the top order needs to come and help us out a little bit. Yesterday, [against Bermuda] they came big for us so were not going to put them under too much pressure. The guys have a lot of talent. They know exactly what we need to do. We need to come here and win but for us to win we need to come here and make runs. Thats it.Despite their victories, USAs fielding has been poor. The tournament hosts had six missed chances against Italy a day after dropping two chances against Bermuda. USA has also conceded a tournament high 45 wides, including another 16 against Italy. No other team has bowled more than 18 wides in their first two games.I think were going to have to go back to the drawing table with our fielding in our whole approach, Allen said. Were not playing cricket all year round so were going to make mistakes. Its just for us to admit our mistakes and go back to the drawing table and capitalize, just make sure we dont make the same mistake twice. ' ' '
