NFL Championship Round: 5 bold predictions
By Ryan Ratty
Aaron Rodgers Attacks Richard Sherman
When these two teams met in Week 1, Rodgers and the Packers made it an emphasis to know where No. 25 is on the field at all times. In that game, the Packers left Jarrett Boykin on Sherman’s side and they ended up not throwing him the ball just once. Interestingly enough, Rodgers is a stud quarterback, but you have to question why he didn’t even challenge Sherman one time.
In this game, I expect the Packers to attack Sherman early and often. Since Week 1, Fresno State rookie Davante Adams has become the third receiver behind Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. After his breakout performance last week, Adams is starting to make defenses become even more wary of this receiving group. Dez Bryant and Odell Beckham Jr. had the best of Sherman earlier in the year, and although he is a great player, Sherman can be beaten at times. I expect Rodgers to test Sherman.
