JACKSONVILLE, FLA (MetroSource-WSAU) — Jameis Winston found the endzone five times as the Saints beat the Green Bay Packers 38-3 in Week One in Jacksonville.
The newly named starter for New Orleans tossed five touchdowns and 148 yards on 14-of-20 passing. Winston found tight end Juwan Johnson twice for a score, while Alvin Kamara had a receiving touchdown and 83 rushing yards.
The Saints held Green Bay to only 43 rushing yards and forced three turnovers.
Aaron Rodgers had a rare off day, throwing for 133 yards, no touchdowns and two picks in the loss. He was pulled early in the fourth quarter, with Jordan Love making his NFL debut for the Packers.
Davante Adams was held to 56 receiving yards, with Aaron Jones being a non-factor with nine rushing yards.
Green Bay returns to action next Monday night hosting Detroit.
