Green Bay Packers came to Texas with a mission. Win another game, go 5-1 and make a statement that last week was a mirage. Guess what? They did that. Sure, Houston is not on the same level as Tampa Bay, but they still took care of the team that was in front of them. Green Bay won on Sunday afternoon handily 35-20. The Texans barely challenged the Packers. Davante Adams tore up the Texans’ defense and had one of the best games of his career.

Player of the Game: Davante Adams – You will not see many stat lines that are better than Davante Adams’ one on Sunday. He had 13 catches, 196 yards, and two touchdowns. Adams could not be handled by the putrid Texans’ defense. They could not stop him if their lives depended on it. The best part about Tae’s day might have been all the third-down catches. He had six of them.

Davante Adams on 3rd down today:

3-1, 8-yard catch
3-3, 3-yard TD
3-9, 28-yard catch
3-10, 16-yard catch
3-5, 9-yard catch
3-4, 45-yard TD catch
3-7, 15-yard catch

Honorable Mention: Za’Darius Smith – Last week’s game was a concern from a pass rush perspective, but Za’Darius Smith showed up in a big way this week. He repeatedly got into Deshaun Watson’s kitchen. The stats don’t show it, but Za’Darius came to play in this one. He did get his sixth sack of the season with two more quarterback hits yet it felt like he did more in this game. Hopefully, the Packers have unlocked something.

One Thing I Liked: Green Bay went all gas no brakes to start the game – Packers put up 14 points almost rapidly and got back to the basics of what makes them a good football team. They added another score while the defense played pretty well. The turning point of the game was Kai Fairbarn’s missed field goal that Green Bay went down and scored. It swung the game by 10 points.

One Thing I Didn’t Like: The special teams were horrendous – This is not a cause for concern. The block punt, the missed onside kick, the bad facemask call from Ka’Darr Hollman. Part of the reason why special teams were so bad was the injuries. When injured players go down, other players get elevated, and those other that elevate are usually on your special teams.

Next up: Green Bay heads home to face the Minnesota Vikings. Vikings are coming off bye and they have a 1-5 record. Minnesota is going to try and throw the kitchen sink at the Packers. They know if they win, the season can turn itself around. Vikings are a hungry dog this Sunday.
