4th-down dime from Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams gave Packers a 7-0 lead

It took until the second quarter and a drive with good starting field position, but the Green Bay Packers finally have a lead on the Arizona Cardinals.

Jaire Alexander jump-started the Packers’ offense with a big punt return following a Cardinals three-and-out, picking up 24 yards on a return that brought the football down to the Arizona 35-yard line.

On first down, Aaron Rodgers hit Davante Adams on a slant for 16 yards and a first down. A three-yard loss, an incomplete pass, and a nine-yard gain on a screen pass set up the Packers with a fourth-and-four from Arizona’s 13. Mike McCarthy left his offense on the field, and his quarterback delivered.

Standing in the pocket, Rodgers directed his receivers around the field, then threw a dart to Davante Adams along the back line of the end zone. Adams got both feet down before falling out of bounds, and the play was ruled a touchdown. Take a look at the pocket for Rodgers below:

The play was not all positive, however, as right tackle Bryan Bulaga appeared to injure a knee on the play. He is officially listed as questionable to return, but the Packers do hold a 7-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
