GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Davante Adams was about as optimistic as anyone in Green Bay about how the Packers' new offense would start under first-year coach Matt LaFleur.
"Hopefully we come out like we were shot out of a cannon Week 1," Adams said before the opener against the Chicago Bears.
But Aaron Rodgers cautioned last week that it might take the Packers a little longer to find a groove in the new system.
It turns out Rodgers was right.
There was no cannonball -- only a thud with minus-12 yards of offense in the first quarter before Green Bay finally salvaged enough for a 10-3 victory over Chicago.
