Davante Adams’ fourth-quarter injury sent a chill through Green Bay Packers fans wondering what impact his potential long-term absence would have on the rest of the season.
It turns out they had no reason to worry.
Adams lay on the field for a couple of minutes and went into the medical tent after a big hit from San Francisco’s Johnnie Ward landed in the receiver’s upper-body area. But he missed only one play and then caught a 25-yard pass and a 17-yard toss from Aaron Rodgers in the final minute to set up Mason Crosby’s game-winning 51-yard field goal as time expired.
