The Green Bay Packers struck first in a Sunday night showdown with the undefeated Houston Texans.

Aaron Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson, who else, for a 41-touchdown pass. Nelson caught the ball in stride at about the 11-yard line, working his way behind the Houston defense. From there he was mostly unmolested to run the ball in for a touchdown pass.
