Aaron Rodgers asks Davante Adams to look at the bright side of the double coverage
The Ravens after losing their offensive stars to injuries had no other option but to resort to a more grounded and defensive style of play. Owing to this, the Ravens resorted to double coverage to stop the duo of Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers. The latter however couldn’t be stopped as he still completed 23 of 31 passes for 268 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

All said and done, the Ravens defensive setup was very unique and Aaron Rodgers acknowledged it post-match. “It was one of the most interesting defensive schemes that I’ve seen in a long time,” Rodgers said. “They were trying to stop Davante. Some of the pre-snap alignments are stuff I just haven’t seen. I told him in the tunnel after the game, ‘That’s the greatest respect level that someone can give you, to literally line up two guys on you for the majority of the game.’”
