Aaron Rodgers broke Brett Favre’s team record for most touchdown passes and finished with three touchdowns and 202 yards through the air. His preferred target, as always, was Davante Adams, who caught 10 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns. Mayfield tallied 222 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions while Nick Chubb gained 129 yards on 17 carries.

Next week, the Packers play Sunday night at home against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Browns have an important divisional game in Pittsburgh against the Steelers.
