It’s uncommon for any football game to match fantasy expectations, let alone exceed them. But Green Bay’s 44-38 overtime victory at the Jets was the gift that kept on giving.
Aaron Rodgers (442 yards passing, four total touchdowns) had one of those “I’m still here” games, while Sam Darnold (341 yards, three touchdowns) looked like a future star. Davante Adams had 11 catches and a game-winning grab; stuff you’d project. Robby Anderson rolled through a 9-140-1 line, to the delight of Team America.
But perhaps the real needle-mover in this match was what happened in the backfield.
