GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Only once since the Vince Lombardi era has the Green Bay Packers’ top tight end averaged fewer than 8.0 yards per catch.
It’s about to be twice.
Even the potential return of Andrew Quarless likely won’t change that.
Since the 1968 season, the only year in which the Packers’ leading tight end averaged fewer than 8.0 yards per reception was 2008, when Donald Lee caught 39 passes for 303 yards – a 7.8-yard average.
With five games remaining, Richard Rodgers has 40 catches for 293 yards – a 7.
