The Cardinals posted an incredible nine sacks – which was more than the amount of points the Packers were able to score all game, and they only allowed Green Bay to post 178 yards in total in the game, which was their second lowest total for the entire season.
The Packers have no Davante Adams this time around, as the receiver suffered an MCL sprain last week.
03 January 2016: Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) [7705] in action during a game between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field, in Green Bay, WI. Does that mean Randall Cobb is set to have a big game against the Arizona Cardinals tonight?
This time both teams are healthy. “They’re the Super Bowl favorites, and obviously the favorite team on Saturday night, so we’ve just got to go out, be loose, let it all hang out, because the pressure’s all on that side”. Rodgers has the playoff experience working in his favor, but will it be enough to defeat one of the best teams in the NFL? “I don’t care what people think or how we’re picked or things like that”.
The game probably featured the Cardinals’ most impressive performance of the season, but also was arguably the Packers worst. Rodgers completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 3,821 yards, 31 touchdowns and just eight interceptions but eclipsed 300 yards passing just once this season. They also played in week 17 like they had a bye as well, as they were drubbed at home by the Seattle Seahawks 36-6.
The veteran quarterback has thrown a career-high 4,671 yards with 35 touchdowns passes to 11 interceptions. Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd, John Brown and the rest of the Cardinals pass catchers will be lining up against a banged up unit from Green Bay. Rookie running back David Johnson had 127 rushing and receiving yards and scored one of his 13 TDs in that contest.
