GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday against Washington. Nothing unusual or especially interesting about that. It was the 70th career game of three-plus touchdowns and a 100-plus passer rating, fourth-most in NFL history.
What was unusual and interesting in terms of this season is who caught those touchdown passes and contributed to the passing game. Yes, as usual, Davante Adams led the way. He caught 6-of-7 targets for 76 yards and one touchdown. But this was the most balanced passing attack this season, with the value perhaps running deeper than the touchdowns he also threw to Allen Lazard and Robert Tonyan.
