We missed it. It felt good. Its a product of December football. Were getting ready to go into the toughest days of the season, and you need these wins.Carson Wentz had 254 yards passing, ran for a score and threw an interception. The last-place Eagles are 2-6 since a 3-0 start.Rodgers came out firing and led the Packers on consecutive touchdown drives to start the game. Rodgers extended the opening drive by running twice for 25 yards and tossed a 12-yard TD pass to Adams for a 7-0 lead.After the Eagles answered on Wentzs 1-yard TD run , Rodgers led another 75-yard scoring drive. He 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.Aaron Ripkowskis 1-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter extended Green Bays lead to 24-13.The Eagles had allowed only three touchdowns at home while outscoring opponents 108-38 in their first four games at Lincoln Financial Field.Green Bay gave up at least 30 points in each of its previous four games, including 89 in the last two. But the defense harassed Wentz and shut down the Eagles inconsistent offense.Philadelphias Caleb Sturgis kicked field goals of 48 and 50 yards while Green Bays Mason Crosby connected from 33 and 32 yards.THEY SAID IT: McCarthy on Rodgers: His positive attitude has been consistent through all this time. 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.Wentz: We struggled to get in a rhythm and we couldnt stay on the field.KEY STATS: The Packers were 10 for 14 on third down and 1 for 1 on fourth. The Eagles had no sacks and no takeaways.NOT AGAIN: Eagles DT Fletcher Cox, an All-Pro last year, committed his third roughing-the-passer penalty to extend an opponents drive this season. The first two led to TDs in losses at Detroit (24-23) and at Washington (27-20). His late hit on Rodgers in the third quarter allowed Green Bay to keep the ball and Ripkowski scored several plays later.It was close and thats how they called it, Cox said. They have to protect the quarterbacks.HIGHLIGHT PLAY: Rodgers and Adams connected for another eye-popping play in the third quarter. 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.BAD THROW: The Eagles drove to Green Bays 45 on the first possession of the second half before Wentz badly overthrew Zach Ertz and was intercepted by Ha Ha Clinton-Dix . The turnover led to a field goal for the Packers.CHALLENGING: Eagles coach Doug Pederson challenged a 2-yard catch in the third quarter -- and won -- so the Packers had a second-and-10 instead of second-and-8. But the untimely challenge meant Pederson couldnt toss the red flag the rest of the game.INJURIES: Eagles WR Jordan Matthews injured his right ankle making a twisting catch in the second quarter. He briefly returned to start the third quarter before leaving the game for good. DE Marcus Smith left with a shoulder injury. RG Brandon Brooks was hospitalized with an illness and Isaac Seumalo made his first career start in his place. ...

Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night.INDIANAPOLIS -- The University of North Carolina appeared before an NCAA infractions committee panel Friday for a procedural hearing in the multiyear academic case.Athletic director Bubba Cunningham told The Associated Press the meeting lasted about five hours in Indianapolis but wouldnt comment on details.We are now looking forward to the next phase of the process, said Cunningham, adding there was no timetable for a ruling.The hearing was focused on procedural arguments made by UNC in response to five charges, including lack of institutional control. In a letter last month scheduling the hearing, the NCAA had said Fridays hearing wouldnt focus on the underlying facts or allegations of the case.UNC had challenged the NCAAs jurisdiction by saying its accreditation agency -- not the governing body for college sports -- was the proper authority for academic questions.The school also said some material from an outside investigators report shouldnt be used because interviews werent performed to NCAA protocols while also pointing to an expired four-year statute of limitations.In addition, the school had argued a March 2012 ruling in an earlier case focused on the football program should have precluded some of the current charges, which are centered around years of irregular courses popular with athletes on the Chapel Hill campus.Specifically, UNC has said the NCAA was aware of key issues in 2011 during the original probe, yet chose not to file additional charges before issuing the 2012 sanctions and had determined no violations occurred at various points in tthe following years before reopening an investigation in 2014.ddddddddddddIn documents released this week, the NCAA enforcement staff said UNCs arguments were without merit. Noting that information has trickled in slowly, the NCAA has regarded findings from the 2014 investigation by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein as new information that triggered the second look.Wainsteins report focused on irregularities that included independent study-style courses in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department. The courses required only a research paper or two while offering GPA-boosting grades, according to the report, though many were misidentified as lecture courses that didnt meet.Wainstein estimated more than 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011, with athletes across numerous sports accounting for roughly half the enrollments.None of the NCAA charges is tied solely to the existence of the problem AFAM courses. Rather, charges against the school are focused on failures in oversight, as well as for conduct by a former womens basketball academic counselor and two former AFAM staffers.The timeline is likely to carry this case well into 2017, approaching seven years since NCAA investigators first arrived on campus in the original football case focused on improper benefits and academic misconduct.Fridays hearing came exactly five years after UNCs hearing in that first case.Cheap Jerseys rs.The timeline is likely to carry this cas
