Maybe Mike McCarthy was the solution Aaron Rodgers needed to end the Green Bay Packers' longest losing streak in 14 years. The Packers, trailing by a pair of touchdowns entering the fourth quarter, rallied to beat the Dallas Cowboys 31-28 in OT.
More than perhaps at any other point this season, the Packers were able to use their run game to open deep shots for Rodgers. He hit a pair of deep touchdowns to rookie receiver Christian Watson, one in each half. It’s a play the Packers have been trying to connect on all season, starting with their first snap of the year, a Watson drop on what would have been a 75-yard touchdown in Minnesota. There’s no question the run game played a big part in stretching the field Sunday.
It’s at least a lineup change worth keeping to see if, given time to gel, the secondary plays better over the final two months – and Savage, who has a fifth-year option for next season, can find a home on the field.After a couple of weeks without wrecking a game, the Amari Rodgers experience returned in full Sunday. Rodgers had two adventures as a punt returner, the first a precursor for the second.
