Lacy helps power Packers past Raiders 20-12 (Yahoo Sports)

Eddie Lacy's powerful running early on helped propel the Green Bay Packers to a 20-12 win over the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night. Lacy had nine carries for 45 yards, capped by a 1-yard touchdown dive on third-and-goal, to highlight a 14-play, 74-yard drive to start the game as the Packers again played without quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The night was over at that point for Lacy, who made coach Mike McCarthy happy in the offseason by slimming down after the coach was critical of the lead back's playing weight at the end of last season.
