Packers: Top five performers in Week 1 victory vs. Bears

2. Randall Cobb

Randall Cobb took the third-and-10 pass from Rodgers and raced 75 yards for the longest touchdown of his career and what would become the game-winning score.

Cobb was having a good game prior to that pass and was key on a couple third down conversions.

Before the 75-yard touchdown, Cobb had eight catches for 67 yards. When it was all said and done he finished with nine catches for 142 yards and that touchdown. Cobb also showed his value as the main punt returner with Davis out due to a hamstring injury.

The Packers need Cobb to have many more games like this in 2018. A return to 2014 form would give Rodgers a reliable slot receiver to take advantage of defenses paying too much attention to Davante Adams and Jimmy Graham. Cobb won’t be the only benefactor, as Geronimo Allison showed he is also ready for his time in the spotlight. But more on that later.

That recipe could spell disaster for opposing defenses. And once running back Aaron Jones comes back from suspension, the ground game will get a shot in the arm that is needed.

Cobb showed he still has plenty to give and looks to have a bounce-back season in the final year of his contract. More games like this will have Cobb in-line for another pay day.
