The Green Bay Packers trailed by four points and were facing 3rd-and-12 from their own 24-yard line when MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and All-Pro receiver Davante Adams created a game-changing moment during Monday night’s 18-point win over the Detroit Lions.
A well-designed play from Matt LaFleur, a terrific throw from Rodgers and an incredible catch from Adams combined to produce a 50-yard play that helped spark a dominant second half from the Packers.
LaFleur had Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s aligned to the right of the formation, and the Packers coach and playcaller used Valdes-Scantling’s speed from the slot to occupy the safety and put Adams in a one-on-one situation against Lions rookie cornerback Ifeatu Melifonwu.
