The Green Bay Packers had to do some last-minute adjusting on Sunday, as they deactivated a pair of their top wide receivers before their game with the Atlanta Falcons. Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery sat out, which dictated a different plan for the team’s wide receiver unit.
That plan involved the extensive use of the team’s five healthy receivers, including rookie Geronimo Allison. However, the biggest beneficiary in terms of playing time was third-year wideout Jeff Janis, who was on the field for all but four of the Packers’ offensive plays. He came through with a crucial touchdown as well, which gave Green Bay a lead in the fourth quarter.
