It may just be the preseason, but Eddie Lacy looks to be in regular season form after just two games.

Lacy carried the ball nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown, as the Green Bay Packers defeated the Oakland Raiders 20-12 at Lambeau Field.

The Packers, playing without starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers were led by second-year quarterback Brett Hundley, who was forced to leave the game after reinjuring his left ankle.

Playing in their second game of the preseason, the Packers were led by their running game, as they gained 145 yards on the ground that also included a 10-yard touchdown run by John Crockett.

One week after leading the Raiders to a convincing win over the Arizona Cardinals on Friday night that included two rushing touchdowns by George Atkinson III, the Raiders offense was ineffective against the Packers.

Derek Carr went 9-for-13 for 38 yards and an interception, as he played the entire first half for the Raiders.

Rookie Connor Cook went 6-for-9 for 101 yards passing and an interception, while Matt McGloin went 2-for-5 for just two yards and an interception.

Latavius Murray carried the ball six times for just 19 yards against the Packers, who were missing Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers.

The Raiders were without the services of Mario Edwards, Jr., and Gabe Holmes, who are out indefinitely with injuries. Edwards, Jr., with a hip injury and Holmes is out with a ankle injury.
