"I just think we're a resilient group," Head Coach Matt LaFleur said. "These guys rallied around each other and made plays when we needed them.
"We had a lot of guys just step up. They've been working hard. They've been working for those moments."
It started with Rodgers and Adams, who connected 13 times for 196 yards and two touchdowns, a single-game yardage career high for Adams. Houston insisted on trying to cover Adams one-on-one, and Rodgers multiple times changed Adams' route at the line of scrimmage to capitalize on mismatches.
The offense converted 7-of-12 third downs – all seven coming on receptions by Adams, including both of his TDs. The combination of crossers, go routes and back-shoulder throws was too much for the struggling Texans' defense.
"I felt like we had a pretty good day making them pay," Rodgers said. "Because when you've got a one-on-one and Davante, it is kind of feast-or-famine. Today we made those plays count."
Rodgers also found receiver Malik Taylor and tight end Jace Sternberger for their first career regular-season TDs, and the two-time MVP QB finished an efficient 23-of-34 for 283 yards with four TDs for a 132.4 passer rating.
When the offense started to scuffle after Adams' second TD, a 45-yarder, in the third quarter, the defense stood tall.
