When Davante Adams exploded for 10 catches and 180 yards, Aaron Rodgers likewise busted out of what had been, by his standards, a rut. In week four, the Green Bay Packers quarterback fired 422 yards on a helpless Philadelphia Eagles defense who had no answer for Adams. The football gods have a cruel sense of humor because Adams left that game with a turf toe injury that would keep him out a month, but that wouldn’t hinder the Packers offense.
If anything, Rodgers pushed that momentum forward without the team’s best receiver. Since he’s come back, they’ve featured him in the passing game to limited success.
