One important pass-catcher for the Green Bay Packers is trending in the right direction down the stretch.
First, the struggles: During a two-game stretch against the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams in November, Packers receiver Allen Lazard was targeted 10 times but managed only three catches for 19 yards. He had five contested catch opportunities but failed to catch a single one.
Over the last four games, Lazard has put the struggles behind him and come alive as a reliable secondary target for the Packers passing game.
The rebound: In games against the Chicago Bears, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, Lazard caught 16 passes on 22 targets for 215 yards and three touchdowns.
