This assumes Moseley gets the nod over Ahkello Witherspoon at cornerback, but the story is the same even if Witherspoon starts. Richard Sherman did a terrific job on Davante Adams in their first matchup, so it’s likely Green Bay will find ways to get Adams matched up with Moseley on the other side. Moseley doesn’t have to be perfect, he just has to be good enough to not let Adams get loose for explosive plays. Allowing a few receptions against Aaron Rodgers is bound to happen, he just can’t give up a monster game to Green Bay’s best offensive player.
