Once Bradley Roby went down with a knee injury early on Sunday, Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adam feasted on what was left of the Houston Texans secondary.
Vernon Hargreaves, Eric Murray and Phillip Gaines all failed to contain Adams, who produced a career day and powered the Packers’ 35-20 victory.
Roby, the Texans’ best cornerback, went down with a knee injury during the Packers’ first series. His absence the rest of the way changed the game.
The Texans stuck with primarily man-to-man coverage despite losing Roby, and Adams and Aaron Rodgers made them pay.
