GREEN BAY, Wis. – How would the Green Bay Packers replace the unstoppable force that is Davante Adams?
That was the question from the moment they traded him to the Las Vegas Raiders on March 17. On Dec. 19, the answer was delivered in a frosty victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Rookie Romeo Doubs, back after missing four games with an ankle injury, caught all five targets for 55 yards.
Rookie Christian Watson’s four-game touchdown streak was snapped and he didn’t have any big-play catches, but he caught four passes for 46 yards, drew two penalties and delivered a key block on Aaron Jones’ touchdown.
Veteran Randall Cobb caught three passes for 32 yards. All three receptions came on Green Bay’s first touchdown drive, including two that moved the chains on third down.
