What Aaron Rodgers missed on the play that could have saved the Packers' season

It was a surprise to nobody that in the Packers’ 13-10 loss to the 49ers in the divisional round, Aaron Rodgers targeted receiver Davante Adams more than he targeted anybody else, and certainly more than any other receiver. When you have the NFL’s best receiver on your side, you don’t make it a secret. Adams was targeted 11 times, catching nine passes for 90 yards, but there were no touchdowns to be had — the only Packers touchdown in that loss came from a six-yard run from A.J. Dillon on Green Bay’s first drive.

After that, it was crickets in the end zone for the NFL’s second-best passing offense (behind only the Buccaneers, per DVOA) throughout the regular season.
