But it really just comes down to execution. Play comes in, weve got to execute it. Theres a lot of things that go into that. We had a couple chances for sure. Cant lose a game like that against that team, though,
Martin Prado Jersey so thats going to hurt for a while.On Wednesday, Rodgers mostly dismi sed the theory that his play had been impacted by the perpetual uncertainty over whether the receivers on any given play would be open in the right place at the right time.I dont know about that, he said. I think that might play into a little bit of it, but I think theres a combination of a lot of different things. Its hard to put it on just one thing.Dallas leading receiver is CeeDee Lamb. In eight games, hes caught 42 pa ses for
Jeff Locke Jersey 556 yards and three touchdowns. He has five games of 70-plus yards. Green Bays receiver corps has six games of 70-plus yards, with three for Lazard and one each for Doubs, Watkins and Cobb.More Green Bay Packers News
