Packers-49ers three takeaways: Mason Crosby delivers
Three takeaways from the Green Bay Packers’ Week 6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
It wasn’t the Packers‘ finest performance, but for now they won’t care. All that matters is the victory.
For a brief moment, the team delivered in all three phases of the game. Kevin King made the crucial interception to get the ball back. Aaron Rodgers then led the offense down the field, setting up special teams with Mason Crosby‘s game-winning field goal.
But before we dive into the takeaways from the game, let’s first give out an honorable mention to Davante Adams, Jimmy Graham and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Adams continues to prove why he’s an elite wide receiver. He caught 10 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. That’s six touchdowns for Adams this season, and 28 in his past 36 regular season games.
Graham was a factor throughout the game, and he caught five passes for 104 yards. Valdes-Scantling once again showed why he deserves a role in this offense even when Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison return. MVS had three catches for 103 yards with a long of 60.
But this was far from a convincing victory for the Packers, who have a lot to think about as they enter their bye week. The focus will quickly shift to how this team can improve moving forward, but for now let’s look back at Monday night’s victory.
Here are the top three takeaways.
