GREEN BAY, Wis. Jordi Masip Jersey . - Aaron Rodgers makes tough throws that can leave fans of the Green Bay Packers speechless.It is best to stay quiet when it comes to perhaps the most impressive statistic from the quarterbacks MVP-caliber season.Going into Monday nights game at Lambeau Field against the Atlanta Falcons, Rodgers has thrown 360 straight passes at home without an interception. The stretch includes 31 consecutive touchdown passes at Lambeau without a pick.Both are NFL records. Thats two years without an interception in Titletown for Rodgers.Now please stop talking about this.I dont know, I just dont like throwing the ball to the opponent, Rodgers said when asked why he has played at an exceptionally high level at home.The topic doesnt come up in the quarterbacks room. This sounds like the football equivalent to a pitcher in baseball being ignored while trying to toss a no-hitter.Hes on a good streak right now, position coach Alex Van Pelt said. Well just keep rolling with that.Just like how the Packers have rolled to a 6-0 record at Lambeau this season. Rodgers has thrown 20 touchdown passes to no picks in 182 attempts at home. His home quarterback rating of 134.4 is 30 points higher than his rating on the road — which would be an impressive enough rating alone.Compare that to Atlantas Matt Ryan, who has a respectable 93.7 quarterback rating overall. For Ryan, Rodgers run is worth watching.Ive always in the off-season taken a look at what theyve done and how hes played. He certainly does as good a job if not better than anybody at extending plays and making things happen after things break down, Ryan said. Hes been doing that his entire career.These last two years, especially, have been exceptional.Rodgers last interception at Lambeau came Dec. 2, 2012. With 6:03 left in the third quarter of a 24-13 win over Minnesota, Rodgers pass on second-and-6 from the Packers 44 intended for Greg Jennings was picked off by safety Harrison Smith.Fittingly, Rodgers was 6 of 6 the rest of the game after the interception. Hes gone 12 straight games at Lambeau since without an interception, having been limited to just four regular-season home games in 2013 because of a collarbone injury.The streak is cited in the teams game notes. Its been talked about on Twitter and mentioned on game broadcasts and highlight shows.But two locker stalls away from Rodgers, backup quarterback Matt Flynn also said the streak isnt conversation material on the team.Of course, it helps any quarterback to play at home, where an offence typically doesnt have to deal with crowd noise. There is the added benefit of being familiar with the surroundings, and playing without having to travel.The schedule has also had the Packers playing in tough environments on the road. This season, Rodgers had an interception in Seattle in the opener off a deflection. He threw two picks at New Orleans.Who knows what would happen if we were (at home) playing those teams. Cant say, Flynn said. Theres definitely comfort with this offence to run it without a ton of crowd noise ... I dont have a good answer, I guess.On Monday, it is Atlantas turn to try to solve Rodgers. The Falcons, while statistically the worst defence in the NFL, have 14 interceptions.Defensive co-ordinator Mike Nolan said watching Rodgers reminds him of the way the Packers previous starting quarterback, Brett Favre, used to make plays on the fly.At no time is he not in a position to really make a throw. Obviously he still has the natural ability, but I dont see that prototypical, mechanical look. He plays ball to win, Nolan said. Favre was a tremendously exciting player to watch because of all those things. (Rodgers) is every bit as exciting.Rodgers doesnt take quite the gambles that Favre would take deep. But it doesnt mean Rodgers doesnt take risks.On one play against New England, Rodgers rolled right and sent what seemed like a dangerous pass at just the right time down the right sideline for a 28-yard completion to running back James Starks.Thats definitely a risky throw, but the (defender) had his back turned, Van Pelt said. Rodgers is doing a great job of making good decisions.___AP Sports Writer Charles Odum and Associated Press writer George Henry in Flowery Branch, Georgia contributed to this story.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Neymar JR Jersey . LOUIS -- Joe Thornton and the San Jose Sharks won the matchup of unbeaten teams. Munir El Haddadi Jersey . Sure, Josh Browns 45-yard field goal on the third drive of overtime lifted the New York Giants to a 23-20 win over Detroit on Sunday. But the Lions (7- dropped themselves out of the NFC North race by losing five of their last six games, blowing fourth-quarter leads in each setback. http://www.barcelonafcteamshop.com/Authentic-Douglas-Jersey/ . Ireland was the last unbeaten side in the championship after France fell to Wales on Friday, and was favoured to end a three-match losing run to England with a side with more than twice as many caps, rampant momentum, and added incentive to celebrate Brian ODriscolls world record-tying 139th test cap.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Christian Yelich kept coming up to bat in big situations. And the young leadoff hitter kept coming through for the Miami Marlins. Yelich set career highs with four hits and four RBIs, including the go-ahead two-run single in the seventh inning, as the Marlins beat the Texas Rangers 8-5 on Tuesday night for their record-tying 13th consecutive interleague victory. "Oh really, thats awesome, I guess," Yelich said about the streak, after first asking what it was. "I guess we just like playing (AL teams) and play well against them." The 13-game interleague winning streak matched the major league record shared by the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, who both reached that mark in 2004. The Marlins, 8-0 vs. American League teams this season, wrap up their quick two-game set in Texas on Wednesday. "Its one of those baseball things you probably cant figure out," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Im sure theres probably somebody a lot smarter than me that can figure it out, but we just go out there and try to win a ball game." Yelichs single in the seventh inning sent home two unearned runs and put the Marlins ahead to stay, after the Rangers had taken the lead with a four-run sixth. There was also his tiebreaking two-run double in the fourth and the hustling double in the sixth when he scored on Casey McGehees two-out hit. "That was a great play, a big momentum-builder for us," Redmond said. "Anytime you can press the issue with base runners, you put pressure on them and it fires the guys up." Bryan Morris (5-0), the third Marlins pitcher, struck out two in 1 1-3 scoreless innings. Steve Cishek worked a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his 15th save in 16 chances. Texas right-hander Jason Frasor (1-1) was responsible for the two unearned runs while facing four batters. Miami took advantage of second baseman Rougned Odoors fielding error on a potential double play in the seventh when Yelichs two-out single made it 6-5. Gerard Pique Jersey. "In the end, we didnt play the defence we were capable of playing. That hurt us," manager Ron Washington said. "We fought hard to get back into that game but we shot ourselves in the foot." Garrett Jones drove in two runs for the Marlins, including his RBI double in the eighth right after the Rangers committed two errors on one play, when Giancarlo Stanton went from first to third on a ball hit to left and then scored on the miscues. Texas went ahead 5-4 after their sixth-inning outburst capped off when Brad Snyder, called up from Triple-A Round Rock earlier Tuesday, scored from second base when Odor beat out a slow chopper for an infield single. Marlins starter Tom Koehler struck out seven through five innings, but the right-hander then allowed the first four batters to reach in the sixth, including a bases-loaded walk to Snyder, before Robinson Chirinos had his second sacrifice fly of the game. Yelich doubled off the base of the wall in centre field for a 3-1 lead in the fourth off Colby Lewis, after Justin Bour had a single and Jeff Mathis drew a walk to start the inning. Mathis might have been out at the plate if shortstop Elvis Andrus relay throw hadnt been cut off near the mound by Snyder, who was playing first base in the major leagues for the first time. An outfielder before playing his last two Triple-A games at first base, Snyder came up when Mitch Moreland (left ankle) was put on the 15-day disabled list. NOTES: The Rangers are 15-19 at home, including 2-6 on this homestand after coming off their longest trip of the season with a 7-4 record. ... Miami had 14 hits and left 13 runners on base. ... Texas has a majors-high 13 players on the DL. ... Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre had multiple hits for the seventh time in eight games. Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
