Adams hit some milestones of his own Sunday, tying a career high with his 13th TD reception on the season and surpassing 1,000 yards for the second time in his career – playing in just 10 of 12 games thus far.
He also caught a TD pass for a seventh straight game, tying a team record set by Don Hutson back in the 1940s. That one he called "crazy," a good word to describe how well he's playing this year.
"He's a great one, and he's got a great quarterback throwing to him as well, which definitely helps, there's no doubt about it," LaFleur said. "Those guys are two phenomenal players. You could argue they're the best at what they do.
"It's not just every now and again. It feels like it's every game."
Sunday was Adams' fifth game this season with 100-plus yards and his fourth with double-digit receptions. He'll need 28 catches for 490 yards over the last four games to reach the franchise's single-season records held by Sterling Sharpe (112 receptions) and Jordy Nelson (1,519 yards), respectively.
As with Rodgers, it might not be wise to bet against him.
The quarterback made history another way Sunday, reaching 36 TD passes on the season to become the first QB in league history with five different seasons of 35-plus TDs.
"I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold onto the second one," he said. "There's some really good young quarterbacks I'm guessing are amassing some numbers in that vicinity. But it does speak to the consistency over a long period of time that I'm very proud of."
His statistical stamp on the game might be getting to 500 TDs with less than 100 interceptions if he can do it. How realistic is it? Well, he threw 14 interceptions between TDs 300 and 400, so getting to 500 before 12 more picks can't be ruled out.
"Like my man Kevin Garnett said, 'Anything's possible,'" Rodgers said. "I think that would be sweet. I haven't necessarily identified that as a goal. I'm just living in the moment for this year, trying to enjoy it as much as possible.
"Hopefully I'll still be playing to have 500, but we'll see."
