More on Adams' score: The Packers were able to use the Jaguars' aggressiveness against them in the fourth quarter when they ran play-action out of bunch formation at Jacksonville's 6-yard line.
Eight Jaguars were sitting in the box when Aaron Rodgers pulled the ball back from Jamaal Williams and flicked it up for Davante Adams, the only receiver who was lined up outside on the play.
"We do a lot of insert blocking where we go in and block the safety, so we're just trying to shut it up where we can get into the things we're going into and block," receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling said. "(We) got everybody to think we were running the ball and just worked out that Davante was able to get open and go out and make that play."
It marked Adams' ninth TD reception of the season and seventh score in the Packers' last four games. With eight catches on Sunday, Adams joined Antonio Freeman (1998-99) as the only receivers in franchise history to have four consecutive games with seven or more catches.
He also moved past Hall of Famer Don Hutson for the fifth-most catches in franchise history (484) and tied WR Greg Jennings for sixth all-time with 53 touchdown catches.
Rodgers' records: With his touchdown passes to Valdes-Scantling and Adams, Rodgers now has 26 TD passes on the season – the second most in team history through nine games behind only his 28 TD passes in 2011.
It is only the second time in NFL history that a QB has thrown 26-plus TD passes with three or fewer INTs in the first nine games of a season, with Rodgers (28/3 in 2011) being the only other instance.
With his 5-yard TD run in the second quarter, Rodgers also matched Tobin Rote's franchise record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (29).
