Aaron Rodgers Got His Mojo Back
They had all of 11 yards after one quarter.
And then, spurred by using the hurry-up approach he loves, Rodgers played like a two-time NFL MVP.
The Packers advanced to this weekend’s Divisional round game against the Cardinals following a 35-18 win against the Redskins in Washington on Wild Card weekend. “That was kind of our first first-down of the quarter, and we got things going”.
The romp extending the Cardinals’ winning streak to nine games and gave them a slim chance at earning the top overall seed in Week 17, but they were demolished by the Seattle Seahawks 36-6 and have been idle since. And it was missing early Sunday, when Washington grabbed an 11-0 lead. “When you get in the playoffs you don’t have to talk about the regular season anymore”.
“There’s a high percentage that they make them, but you’ve still got to do it”.
“Like I say to you guys every week, it’s our execution and making the plays that are there”, Adams said.
It was a far cry from how he performed in Arizona last month, when the Cardinals harassed him into completing just more than half his passes for 151 yards with one touchdown, one interception and three fumbles, two of which he lost (and were returned for touchdowns). The Cardinals got a lot of guts to handle as they play the Green Bay Packers on Saturday January 16, 2016 at 5:15pm channel 5. It’s a rematch of a Week 16 game that Arizona dominated 38-8. The victor moves on to face the winner of the Panthers-Seahawks matchup in the NFC title game.
Green Bay added a field goal and the spirited defense stopped Washington on fourth-down conversion attempts three times to clinch victory. But as quickly as the tickets were sold out, I think the crowd will be very much red come Saturday night. “It was the start of us beginning to make them one-dimensional on offense”.
“They ran the football extremely well and protected”, Arians said during a Tuesday morning conference call.
“It’s huge for us”, Rodgers said.
“We don’t care about expectations”. It ended up being his 11th consecutive game with a passer rating under 100, but he was at 119.0 over the final three quarters. “That’s why they’ve won championships – and that’s who their quarterback is”.
Here are five reasons the Arizona Cardinals will win Super Bowl 50.
In the second half, the running game took over. The Packers averaged 4.4 yards per carry as a team, a modest rate, and actually worse than Washington’s 4.7 ypc. Jefferson is all over the field and can disrupt a play before you even realize he’s involved. “Good adjustments on the sideline, good adjustments by players and coaches”, Packers Coach Mike McCarthy. Redskins DE Jason Hatcher is considering retiring after 10 National Football League seasons. “So I enjoy our relationship and “it’s great that everybody got to see some good clips” is my answer”.
