4. Rashan Gary and the Packers Sack Brees Five Times
Coming into his second NFL season, there were some questions about what kind of role Rashan Gary would have with the Packers. In Week 2 against the Lions, Gary recorded 1.5 sacks and proved that he was well worth the No. 12 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. That will continue this week.
Gary will record another sack and will be joined by Za’Darius Smith with two sacks and Preston Smith with a sack to take Brees down five times. To beat the Saints, pressure must be put on Brees. Mike Pettine knows that and his defense will get the job done.
3. Davante Adams Gets Back To Massive Production
After a 14-catch, 156-yard, and two touchdown performance in Week 1, Adams was very quiet against the Lions. He caught just three passes for 36 yards. Those numbers are going to jump in a big way this week against the Saints.
Adams will come through with 12 receptions for 120 yards and two more touchdowns. Rodgers will go to his most trusted target all game long and the Saints will have no answer. This will be another fun game to watch the Rodgers-Adams connection.
