GREEN BAY Austin Seibert Jersey , Wis. (AP) —someone who instilled the kind of good habits that have helped make the Green Bay Packers star one of the best receivers in the NFL.Adams might even break a record held by his buddy and former teammate, Jordy Nelson.Adams has 1,315 yards receiving going into this weekend’s game against the New York Jets, 205 yards shy of eclipsing the club single-season mark set of 1,519 set by Nelson in 2014.This could be a bit of an awkward conversation when the Packers’ current and former top wideouts catch up next.“I don’t want to bring it up, I don’t want to jinx it,” Adams said with a smile.Nelson may even try to jinx him, too, he joked.If he gets the record, “Jordy will definitely be one of the first ones to get a call,” Adams said this week. “If not, I’m sure he’ll hit me up before the game’s even over. It happens, we’ll see.”Adams has a decent shot at the mark over the final two weeks in a season in which he is averaging career highs in yards per game (93.9) and catch percentage (66.2). This weekend, the Packers face the NFL’s 19th-ranked pass defense in the Jets, who are giving up 243.4 yards per game through the air.Adams also has 100 catches for the first time in his career, leaving him 13 shy of breaking the club record set by Sterling Sharpe in 1993.Having Aaron Rodgers behind center will help. The two-time NFL MVP appears likely to start, even with the Packers (5-8-1) already eliminated from the playoffs and Rodgers playing through injuries. The franchise quarterback was a full participant in practice at midweek with his lingering left knee injury, along with an apparent minor groin injury sustained during last week’s loss to the Chicago Bears.Rodgers and Adams are the Packers’ lone selections to the Pro Bowl. Adams has been Rodgers’ most reliable receiver; Rodgers has been Adams’ biggest cheerleader.“We’ve been saying it all year, whether or not – people have been debating Trysten Hill Jersey , I think – or whether or not he’s an elite player, a No. 1 receiver and all this garbage. He’s had a fantastic year, and he deserves it,” Rodgers said.Adams said he’s not keeping count with every catch, though he allows himself to acknowledge that getting the records “would be cool. We’ll see. Hopefully A-Rod’s counting.”Nelson once had that role as Rodgers’ most trusted receiver. Adams was a rookie in 2014 when Nelson set the club receiving yards mark.But Nelson was cut by the Packers this past March as a salary cap casualty after coming off a down 2017 season. He landed with Oakland, where he has 47 catches for 586 yards and three touchdowns.Randall Cobb, another Packers veteran who has been a big help to Adams, is in the last year of his deal with Green Bay.“It’s well deserved obviously, with what they’ve done with me and how they kind of taught me to go, not so much with words but with actions,” Adams said. “That’s really what sets people apart. The things they’ve been able to do for me and my career, I can’t thank them enough.”Adams credits Nelson and Cobb for helping him establish good habits in practice, as well as dealing with media responsibilities in the locker room. He’s trying to take a similar leadership role now with younger receivers on the team.“I never lead them in the wrong direction, I know that they understand that,” Adams said. “That’s going to lead into them taking the talent they have now and evolve it into an elite player.”NOTES: RT Bryan Bulaga (knee) was limited for a second straight practice, a sign that the veteran starter was closer to returning after missing two games. … Cobb (concussion) and DL Kenny Clark (elbow) sat out practice again. … P JK Scott returned to practice after missing a day because of illness. Predicting what’s ahead in an NFL season is no easier than forecasting the weather. Given all the variables, it’s probably harder.The team of September, the Chiefs, went mediocre on us in October and early November. Those struggling Patriots who were 2-2 now seem on course for yet another hosting role in the AFC playoffs.Early season woes for the Giants that were dismissed as temporary have become chronic. That ugly 0-2 start for the Saints has turned into a beautiful six-game winning streak.See?No matter. Here are some things to look for as we move through November and December.MORE QB INJURIESThis has been the overriding story of the season, with Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer Connor McGovern Jersey , sensational rookie Deshaun Watson and Sam Bradford all going down. Ryan Tannehill didn’t even make it out of the preseason, and Andrew Luck’s shoulder didn’t heal enough after winter surgery for him to suit up.Speculating who might be the next quarterback or three who will suffer a major injury is ghoulish. Consider, though, that nine teams (Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Green Bay, Arizona, Tennessee, Oakland, Houston, Miami and Baltimore) have had to go to backups because of injured starters.OFFICIATING CONTROVERSYThis one is unavoidable, and will occur weekly. Seems as if no weekend goes by without a pool reporter being sent to talk to game officials about a decision.As video replay becomes more refined — we can just about count the blades of grass under a receiver’s hands as he cradles (or doesn’t) a pass — and the NFL rulebook remains far too complex, officiating will continue to play a huge role in outcomes of games.One request: no more reversals like what we saw in Falcons-Lions and Patriots-Jets that fans will be questioning into the new year.HOTTER SEATSOther than Hue Jackson in Cleveland, the fire figures to burn very hot under the Buccaneers’ Dirk Koetter; the Giants’ Ben McAdoo; the Bengals’ Marvin Lewis, whose contract is up this year; the Colts’ Chuck Pagano, who could get a pass because he’s had no, ahem, luck with his passer; and possibly the Lions’ Jim Caldwell. New York and Detroit are among the league’s biggest underachievers, and that likely won’t change in 2017.PASSION IF NOT SKILLIt would be difficult to find a club that would trade its roster for what the Jets or Bears have. It also would be tough to point out any teams that play with more passion and dedication.There’s no reason to believe either of them will stop giving their all for 60 minutes. New York is 4-5 in a year some projected it wouldn’t win a game and was tanking for the top overall draft pick. With any finishing power, the Jets would be in the playoff hunt.Chicago is 3-5 despite an inept passing game, and has beaten Pittsburgh and Carolina. The Bears simply don’t go away. Maybe they aren’t the Monsters of the Midway Foster Moreau Jersey , but they sure are pesky.Give tremendous credit to coaches Todd Bowles and John Fox. And expect more of the same from both teams the rest of the way.A TIE OR TWOOne thing we’ve learned from the reduced overtime period (from 15 minutes to 10) is that a tie is hardly unlikely. Indeed, getting more than one possession in OT can be problematic.So expect at least one deadlock down the stretch, and let’s hope it won’t figure into playoff tiebreakers.EARLY CLINCHINGSWith two highly regarded divisions, the AFC West and North, turning soft, watch for the Steelers and Chiefs to be selling playoff tickets by mid-December. Same for the Patriots, but that’s a yearly occurrence in the mediocre AFC East.Barring a stunning turnaround, the Eagles, at 8-1 the league’s top team, will be making postseason plans about a month from now. The Saints, too, if their defense remains stout.A WIN FOR SAN FRANCISCO. AND FOR CLEVELAND.Just kidding.Actually, the 49ers beating the Giants this Sunday hardly is farfetched, though the odds would be much shorter if Jimmy Garoppolo was ready.San Francisco then has a bye before hosting Seattle, visiting Chicago and Houston, home for Tennessee and Jacksonville and at the Rams.The road for Cleveland has a trip to Detroit, home for Jacksonville, at Cincinnati and the Chargers, home for Green Bay and Baltimore, then road games at Chicago and Pittsburgh.You decide which team — if either — has a better shot at a victory.
