Record-tying TD from Davante Adams gives Packers the lead vs. Eagles

For the seventh straight game, Davante Adams made a catch in the end zone.

The Green Bay Packers receiver caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers on fourth down to give his team a 7-3 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles in the second quarter on Sunday.

The three-time Pro Bowler made the leaping catch against the coverage of Darius Slay.

Adams now has 12 total touchdown catches in 2020 and a touchdown reception in every game dating back to Week 7. The seven-game streak with a touchdown reception ties the franchise record, set originally by Hall of Famer Don Hutson.

The Packers’ touchdown drive traveled 88 yards in 14 plays and took up almost eight minutes of game clock in the second quarter. Rodgers and Adams connected three times for 38 yards, including a 24-yarder early in the drive.

The touchdown pass was the 34th of Rodgers’ season and the 398th of his NFL career.

Adams needs one more touchdown catch to tie his career of 13, set in 2018. He would set the new team record for consecutive games with a touchdown catch if he can haul one in next week against the Detroit Lions.
