“It’s a big advantage for us.” Rodgers’ Lambeau advantage is
becoming unfair as he has now tossed 48 touchdowns at home since
his last interception there. Green Bay last suffered a home
defeat in Jan. 2014 when they fell to San Francisco in a wild
card playoff game. The Packers were stung in last season’s NFC
championship by a final second road loss to Seattle, a game they
felt may have been different had they earned home field.
But they are well on their way to another playoffs campaign.
Rodgers is already in rare form and is just the second player
ever to start his first three games with 10 TDs and no
interceptions, behind Peyton Manning in 2013. The Packers
offense is humming despite the absence of leading receiver Jordy
Nelson, out for the season with a knee injury. The team also
lost pass catcher Davante Adams on Monday to an ankle injury,
not that it mattered as they were once again dominant in front
of their home fans. “It definitely makes everything easier
(playing at home),” said Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb, who
hauled in three touchdowns on Monday.
“We can verbally communicate and don’t have tosignal. “(And)
when you’re playing with a great player like (Rodgers) it makes
it easy for you.”
