Davante Adams passed 1,000 receiving yards for the season on that 7-yard catch from Aaron Rodgers. He needed barely 10 games to get there after missing one week because of COVID-19.
Adams now at 1,001 yards in 2021. His third 1,000-yard season.
Packers All-Pro WR Davante Adams has been one of the best WRs in the NFL. Adams is second in the NFL in receiving yards with 1,083 yards and fourth in receptions with 80. Moreover, he is fourth in targets with 115 and second in receiving yards per game with 98.5 yards. Adams won this matchup versus Ramsey, and it was a fun one to watch. Hopefully, this won't be the last time we see these two great players go at it this season. The only time this matchup can happen is if the Packers and the Rams meet in the NFC Championship game.
