Randall Cobb seems to have rediscovered himself

The loss of Jordy Nelson loomed large for the entire first half in Green Bay. It seemed like Rodgers missed his favorite target a lot. Then the much-maligned Randall Cobb seemed to rediscover the form that made him so good four years ago. He made nine catches on the night for 142 yards including the decisive 75-yard bomb to take the lead.

If he can keep this up the rest of the season, the Packers wide receiver situation will be set for the future along with Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison. Proof once again that Green Bay is so good at keeping the coffers properly stacked for their quarterback. Or perhaps this was just another case of Cobb saving his good performances for Chicago.
