Mason Crosby on Green Bay Packers 6-1 record, chemistry: This is the way you want to start a season – WITI FOX 6 Milwaukee

The Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau gave the rest of the NFL its first true glimpse of what Matt LaFleurs offense can look like with Aaron Rodgers at the helm and it was scary. Rodgers had his best game by far under the new Packers coach, throwing for 429 yards and five touchdowns and running for another as Green Bay beat the Oakland Raiders 42-24 on Sunday. Rodgers completed 25 of 31 passes to eight different targets and finished with the first perfect passer rating of his career, leading LaFleurs offense to a season-high in points. Even with top target Davante Adams sidelined for the third straight game with turf toe, Rodgers threw for his most touchdowns in a game since Sept. 28, 2015, against the Chiefs.

Afterward, Rodgers called it the most complete that Ive played.

FOX6s Kaitlin Sharkey: Youve played with Aaron Rodgers for a long time. Youve seen his great games, great moments, and then he comes away with, Sunday, six touchdowns, are there any of these games or any of these times when you go, Like, is this really happening? Because hes had so many of these great moments, how does a game like Sunday stand out?

Yeah, I mean, hes not gonna have too many more opportunities to have records. Like, you know, its like, he just seems to have set, you know, pretty much all of them, so I didnt realize that hadnt been happening, or he hadnt done it. You know, I guess I wouldve assumed that hed probably had a perfect game at some point, or a perfect passer rating, but I mean, what a great teammate. What a great example of what it is to lead a team. Just goes out there and performs every game, every day, and you know you can count on Aaron to have a good game, and put it all on the line, so.

FOX6s Kaitlin Sharkey: And then looking ahead, the rhythm you guys have had on offense, just the way the team is playing, the chemistry, do you really feel like the sky is the limit for this team because things are starting to click? Everyones getting more comfortable with where theyre supposed to be, their roles, play calls, things like that?

I do, said Crosby. I mean, I dont think weve had a complete game on all three phases, and, you know, well all admit that we have a little bit more, we can tighten it down just a little bit more.

FOX6s Kaitlin Sharkey: Finally, were you disappointed you didnt get a Lambeau Leap on Sunday?

Yeah, you know, I kind of, honestly, I will look back at the film, said Crosby. I did take a dive, you know, on the extra point right before half, so, you know, Im trying to add a lot to, you know, my resume here, you know, as far as what I can do, but Ill take a 42-point game where, you know, I just have extra points all day. Thats OK with me.
