"I saw Aaron move my way, so it was just about keeping it alive," Adams said. "Obviously, '12' saw an opening and he just threw a bullet over there, a dart, and it felt like it was 10 yards away because the ball got up on me so quick. I was able to get a little toe-tap action in the back and make sure I didn't get my Achilles landed on, on top of that. It was a good deal."
Adams kept it going in the second half. After a quiet start to the third quarter for both teams, Rodgers connected with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for 39 yards down the seam on third-and-5.
Two plays later, Rodgers hit Adams on a quick 1-yard fade on second-and-goal to put Green Bay up 29-10. Adams only had one catch in the fourth quarter, but that 40-yard catch on first-and-20 helped slam the door on any hopes of a comeback for the Vikings, who had pulled within 10.
"I didn't feel like I was force-feeding him today, he was just in positions to make a number of catches and he obviously made a bunch of plays," Rodgers said. "I always believed that records should be achieved in the flow, that we shouldn't go chasing those things, and what a beautiful game that he played today."
Still, after the game, Adams was lamenting two of the three passes he didn't catch Sunday – a quick slant on fourth-and-goal from the Minnesota 1-yard line and a close catch near the sideline that officials ruled he bobbled upon review, both in the first half.
