KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a new go-to receiver. Make that two new go-to receivers.
And neither one of them actually plays the position.
Sunday’s 31-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was Exhibit D in how first-year Packers coach Matt LaFleur and Rodgers have adapted without Pro Bowl receiver Davante Adams, who missed his fourth straight game because of turf toe.
Running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams showed their versatility and improved receiving skills. Jones caught two touchdown passes (a 4-yard shovel pass and a 67-yard bubble screen) and Williams an improbable one (a desperation heave for a 3-yarder in the back right corner of the end zone).
