So while it was a bad secondary, the potential league MVP and #1 WR in the league arguably didn’t do as much damage to them as we did.
After Davante Adams, the Packers have no other player with even 450 yards receiving.
WR1 Davante Adams: 1,362 yards
WR2 Valdes-Scantling: 427 yards
WR3 Randall Cobb: 375 yards
TE1 Mercedes Lewis: 214 yards
WR1 Ja'Marr Chase: 1,163 yards
WR2 Tee Higgins: 1,029 yards
WR3 Tyler Boyd: 792 yards
TE1 CJ Uzomah: 461 yards
If you can shut down Adams via matchups, double/triple-teams, or scheme, they have literally no other answer in the passing game. You can't do that with the Bengals. Their #4 in receiving yards has more than the Packers #2.
