Packers’ greatest strength no. 1: Passing game

This is the Packers’ bread and butter. They’ll be hard-pressed to do anything of significance in the playoffs if their passing game isn’t clicking on all cylinders.

Part of the reason for Green Bay’s success in the passing game is LaFleur. He’s done a tremendous job drawing up plays that are easy for Aaron Rodgers to ready and difficult for the defenses to cover. This has allowed Rodgers to have a career year in 2020.

However, Rodgers deserves a ton of credit as well. He’s fully bought into the program and has made nothing but the right decisions from Day 1. Davante Adams is his go-to target and will either bust games wide open or create plenty of opportunities for others. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Aaron Jones and Robert Tonyan will also play large roles for Green Bay’s offense who will be asked to do the heavy lifting through their passing game in the playoffs.
