GREEN BAY, Wis., Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Aaron Rodgers threw for 358 yards and two first-quarter touchdowns Sunday, leading the Green Bay Packers in a 26-0 rout of Detroit.

Rodgers completed 29-of-37 passes with one interception.

Donald Driver established a franchise record when his 5-yard first-quarter reception, the 596th catch of his career, making him Green Bay's all-time career leading pass receiver. He finished with seven catches for 107 yards.

Ryan Grant had 24 carries for 90 yards, while James Jones and John Kuhn each caught one touchdown pass for the Packers (3-2), who were idle last week.

Kevin Smith gained 61 yards on 15 carries for the Lions (1-5), who have lost 15 straight road games.
