PHILADELPHIA -- Aaron Rodgers threw perfect passes, ran for key first downs and did all his talking on the field. Nike Air Max Thea Sort Og Hvid .Nobody will question his leadership this week.Rodgers had 313 yards passing and tossed two touchdown passes to Davante Adams to help the Green Bay Packers snap a four-game losing streak with a 27-13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.The two-time NFL MVP openly criticized his teammates while the losses piled up, causing people to point the finger back at him for the way he handled it. But Packers coach Mike McCarthy praised his quarterbacks approach.His positive attitude has been consistent through all this time, McCarthy said. Hes grown as a quarterback since the start of 2008, and grown as a person all the way through. Hes an excellent leader, always has been.Rodgers hasnt had a losing record since his first season as the starter replacing Brett Favre. Hes led the Packers to seven straight playoff appearances and a Super Bowl title. But the teams recent struggles and some of Rodgers comments made him a target for criticism.Its been a rough stretch, Rodgers said. Were human, so you lose a few in a row and doubt starts to creep in whether or not you can actually finish one of those games off. So for us to finish it off the way we did on offense the last two drives, defensively to come up with a stop, and to finish out the game with a couple of sacks was great for our confidence.Green Bay (5-6) wasnt losing because of Rodgers or the offense. The defense allowed at least 30 points in each of the four previous games and 89 in the past two. Injuries on both sides of the ball didnt help the situation.Rodgers made sure the Packers started fast, leading them to touchdown drives on the first two possessions. They took hostile crowd out of the game early and became the first team to win in Philadelphia (5-6) this season.Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers only managed a field goal against the Eagles in Week 3. Matt Ryan and the Falcons had their lowest scoring output (15 points) here on Nov. 13.The victory kept Green Bays sinking playoff hopes alive but the Packers are still two games behind the Lions (7-4) in the NFC North.Theres a big difference between 4-7 and 5-6 for sure, but I hope theres not a ton of relief because we still have a lot of things in front of us wed like to accomplish, Rodgers said. This is a step in the right direction, a game we needed to take care of business, but we have a short week with Houston coming in and we have to have a similar performance.Rodgers showed off his accuracy under the prime-time lights, going 30 for 39. He made two passes to Adams that will make all the highlight tapes.Rodgers threw a perfect 20-yard TD pass to Adams to give the Packers a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. Nolan Carroll had excellent coverage on the play, but Rodgers put the ball in a tight spot and hit Adams in stride in the back of the end zone.After Ha Ha Clinton-Dix intercepted Carson Wentz in the third quarter, Rodgers connected with Adams again. Adams was covered well on a deep pass, but Rodgers threw it in the right spot and Adams made an outstanding over-the-shoulder catch for a 50-yard gain.When Aaron gets in a rhythm and he starts finding guys ... and making great throws, thats the offense were accustomed to having, right tackle Brian Bulaga said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi ;Nike Air Max Thea Udsalg . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions.

PHILADELPHIA -- Though the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves are currently in the bottom two slots in the National League East, theres a vastly different feeling inside the two clubhouses.An 8-2 win on Monday night was the sixth in seven games for the Phillies (38-46), who were 8-28 from May 20-June 26 thanks to a struggling offense that has suddenly woken up.After averaging 3.11 in its first 71 games of the year, Philadelphia has scored seven-or-more runs in five of its last eight contests and is averaging exactly six runs per game over its last 13.I cant complain about the hitting anymore, manager Pete Mackanin joked after Mondays win. The hitting continues, its great to see.Particularly hot of late has been outfielder Peter Bourjos, who extended his career-best hitting streak to 13 games with a 3-for-3 outing on Monday, raising his average to .278. It had been as low as .217 before the streak began on June 21, but since then hes 24-for-50 (.480) with 13 runs scored and six more batted in.Who ever thought Bourjos had a chance to hit .300 at the start of the year? Mackanin asked. Hes on fire, its good to see that.The Braves (28-55), meanwhile, have lost eight of their last 11 and have the second-worst record in the majors, ahead of only Minnesota (27-55).Interim manager Brian Snitker was searching for positives after the Phillies torched starter Joel De La Rosa for a seven-run second iinning on Monday night, a 10-minute strike from which his team never recovered.

Well regroup tomorrow and try to come out and win the series.On Tuesday, the Phillies will be looking to get starter Zach Eflin his first career major league victory as the 22-year-old right-hander takes the mound for the fifth time since his June 10 callup.After allowing nine runs in 2 2/3 innings in his debut, Eflins only given up seven runs (five earned) in 17 2/3 innings in his last three, for a 2.55 ERA; his last time out, the Phillies won a game that he started for the first time, a 9-8 victory over Arizona that was a no-decision for Eflin.The Braves counter with righty Mike Foltynewicz, who will make his second start since returning from the 15-day DL (bone spurs in elbow) looking to go further than he made it his last time out -- after throwing 61 pitches through three innings against the Miami Marlins on June 30, Foltynewiczs evening ended after a one-hour rain delay.The 24-year-old, who had a 5.64 ERA over his first two years in the majors, has a 3.72 ERA in seven starts this season thanks to improving his ground ball-to-fly ball ratio and cutting down on his walks.
