Aaron Rodgers Gets a Davante Adams Flashback While Speaking to Media Ahead of Week 10 Tennessee Titans Fixture

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers just ended a five-game losing streak. The Packers beat their oldest rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, in an overtime thriller. However, the Packers QB is still reminiscent of the good time he shared with the former on-field weapon, Davante Adams.

A-Rod led the Green Bay Packers to a 31-28 overtime win against the Cowboys on Sunday. However, he still feels the best part of the Packers’ offense is still behind him in the field, referring to his running backs, and misses the dependability of Davante Adams.

Aaron Rodgers has some options on the receiving end but not the ones he wishes

A-Rod made a turnaround effort in the win against the Dallas Cowboys. After coming off a career-high 3 interceptions game against the Detroit Lions in Week 9, Aaron Rodgers had 3 touchdowns and 0 interception game with 224 passing yards on SNF. However, it wasn’t old teammate WR Davante Adams who caught those throws. Rodgers connected on all 3 TD passes with 23-year-old WR Christian Watson who had a monster rookie game with 107 receiving yards.

The 4-6 Packers need to go on a winning stretch to revive playoff hopes. And their next opponents are the mighty Tennessee Titans. Rodgers spoke to the media ahead of the clash with Derrick Henry’s Titans. On being asked if he recalled the last encounter between the two sides, Rodgers went into flashback mode and talked about the memorable encounter in the snow.

A-Rod and the Packers’ offense ran riot the last time these two franchises met in Week 16 of the 2020 NFL season. Rodgers had 4 touchdown throws, including three to Davante Adams in the 40-14 domination. “AJ Dillon’s touchdown run. Davante’s fingertip catch down the left sideline; a lot of great plays,” reminisced the reigning back-to-back MVP of the league.

Can Rookie Watson become the receiver of choice for A-Rod?

Aaron Rodgers will have to look to running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon for the rushing game against the Tennessee Titans. Jones ran for 138 yards and a touchdown against Dallas. Although rookie Watson caught three touchdowns on Sunday, he missed a few early in the game and a crucial one against the Minnesota Vikings in their opening-week fixture. Davante Adams left the Packers for the Las Vegas Raiders in the off-season and Rodgers hasn’t been happy ever since.

The Green Bay defense also needs to play its role on Thursday. The defensive line allowed Cowboys RB Tony Pollard to run for 115 yards and score a running touchdown. They cannot let this repeat against one of the most dominant rushers of the ball, Derrick ‘King’ Henry. Henry already has almost 1000 running yards this season, and it’s only mid-season.
