Aaron Rodgers threw for three scores as the Green Bay Packers dominated the Minnesota Vikings in driving rain, winning 42-10 at Green Bay's Lambeau Field.
Eddie Lacy had his first 100-yard day of the year and added two scores of his own for the Packers, who started strongly and never looked back.
The hosts, who led 42-0 against their NFC North rival, move to 3-2 for the season, while the Vikings fall to 2-3.
"We know what Eddie can do, we never lost faith," Packers receiver Randall Cobb told reporters after catching his league-leading sixth touchdown reception.
"We're going to be in his corner the whole way, and when he gets opportunities he's going to make it happen."
With steady rain falling, Rodgers kicked off the fireworks in the first quarter with a scoring throw to Cobb and a 66-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson.
Linebacker Julius Peppers then returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter before Rodgers added a third touchdown toss to Davante Adams for an 11-yard score.
Lacy took over in the third, putting the game away with two scoring runs before Green Bay's starters rested in the fourth.
Minnesota sputtered behind third-string quarterback Christian Ponder, who was forced into action when rookie Teddy Bridgewater was ruled out due to an ankle injury at the end of a starring role in his debut against the Atlanta Falcons.
Ponder completed just 22 of 44 passes, threw two interceptions and was sacked six times.
Minnesota have faced their share of adversity thus far. They are already without opening season starter Matt Cassel, who broke his left foot, while Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson was banished to the NFL exempt list until a child abuse case is resolved.
"We have to want it more than our opponent does," Vikings defensive end Brian Robison said.
"Bottom line, I didn't feel like we wanted it more than our opponent tonight. Guys had their heads down, and that is not stuff you want to see on the sidelines."
