NFL Team Report - Green Bay Packers
--With 111 receptions for 1,386 yards, wide receiver Davante Adams is chasing Packers history. Sterling Sharpe holds the franchise record with 112 receptions, and Adams' former teammate, Jordy Nelson, holds the team standard with 1,519 receiving yards. With two catches and 134 yards, Adams will hold the No. 1 spot in both stats. --Last week against the Jets, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned in the second game of 400-plus passing yards, two-plus passing touchdowns and two-plus rushing touchdowns in NFL history. He also had the first such game, against Denver in 2011. Rodgers has thrown for 4,416 yards. His career high is 4,643, set in 2011, when he won his first MVP. With 25 touchdowns and two interceptions, he has a chance to become the first quarterback with 30 touchdowns vs. two interceptions. --Center Corey Linsley has played all 1,019 snaps this season after playing all 1,047 snaps last season. --Running back Jamaal Williams had three runs of 12-plus yards against the Jets last week. He had zero in the first 14 games. --Outside linebacker Clay Matthews, who is the franchise's career leader in sacks (a stat counted since 1982) but has only 3.5 this season, will be a free agent at season's end. "I feel good about it," Matthews said of his body of work. "I feel like I've been disruptive when my number's been called. I feel like I've done exactly what they've asked of me and I've been accountable, which is one of the biggest things you can ask for. It's just about where there's a need and where there's a want. We'll see if that's here or somewhere else." BY THE NUMBERS: 48 - Sacks taken by Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. The franchise record for most sacks of one quarterback is the 51 absorbed by Rodgers in 2012.
