Packers WR Allen Lazard makes diving catch, sets up opening-drive TD vs. Giants

Packers WR Allen Lazard made an awesome catch on the second play of the offense’s scoring drive against the Giants.

Allen Lazard’s diving catch helped set up the Green Bay Packers’ opening-drive touchdown against the New York Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Lazard laid out to finish the 43-yard completion from quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the second play of the drive. Five plays later, Rodgers found Davante Adams from eight yards out to finish the scoring march.

Rodgers completed all five of his passes for 66 yards on the drive, which took just under four minutes and gave the Packers a 7-0 lead.

Adams caught three passes for 16 yards, including a 10-yard catch on 3rd-and-8 to extend the drive.

Jones caught a pass on the first play for seven yards and rushed once for four yards. A game-breaking weapon in the passing game in October, Jones caught only one pass during the month of November.
