1) The opening drive against the Lions was defined by a number of short throws from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the majority of which targeted receiver Davante Adams. That Rodgers threw so often and so quickly early in the game was part of the plan, according to associate head coach/offense Tom Clements, who calls the plays, and for a while the rapid-fire approach produced results. Tossing aside an overhand flip to Alonzo Harris on a screen pass gone wrong, Rodgers attempted 22 passes and was sacked twice in the first half. I ran a stopwatch from the time Rodgers received the ball to the time he released it on each of those 24 total plays. Here are the unofficial numbers I compiled: Rodgers held the ball an average of 2.72 seconds on the 24 dropbacks measured. That number spiked to 3.53 seconds on seven incomplete passes thrown by Rodgers. On the two sacks, Rodgers held the ball an average of 4.6 seconds. Twice Rodgers caught the snap and unleashed a pass in less than one second — .63 seconds and .76 seconds, both to Adams.
