An already extensive injury list grew larger before game time when it was announced receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Ty Montgomery (illness) would be inactive at the Georgia Dome on Sunday.
It was up to quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the offense to make do.
Adjustments were made and new personnel was deployed in place of Cobb, Montgomery, tight end Jared Cook, and running backs Eddie Lacy and James Starks.
While the outcome wasn’t what the Packers desired – a 33-32 defeat – the fact the offense scored four touchdowns and put up more than 300 total yards brought a smile to Rodgers’ face on Wednesday when reflecting on the game.
