Davante Adams sets Packers single-season receiving yardage record in first half vs. Lions

There is a new name atop the Green Bay Packers’ record book in one statistical category today. The Packers are in the midst of the 2021 regular season finale against the Detroit Lions, but in the first half, wide receiver Davante Adams etched his name into the book with yet another single-season record.

Adams held the team record for receptions in a single season, first setting that mark in 2020 with 115 catches and then eclipsing it last week against the Vikings. He further expanded that record in Sunday’s finale, but in doing so, he also passed up former teammate Jordy Nelson for the team record in receiving yards for a single season.
