GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have a deep and talented group of wide receivers, and there are only so many passes to go around.
It’s a good problem to have, but receivers are bound to end up feeling like they deserve a little more attention from Aaron Rodgers. Packers coaches have a simple answer: When you do get the ball, make the most of it — just like Jordy Nelson did on Sunday.
After a quiet afternoon at Carolina, Nelson caught a short pass from Rodgers and turned it into an 84-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, putting away a game that had been very much in doubt.
Nelson says it’s challenging for a receiver to maintain his concentration after not seeing much action for three quarters.
