Stud: Robert Tonyan

With Adams and Lazard out, somebody on the Packers had to step up and provide Rodgers with a legit option in the passing game. While most thought Marquez Valdes-Scantling might be that person, it was actually tight end Robert Tonyan.

Tonyan has risen to the occasion all season long since Jimmy Graham was waived last offseason. He had seven receptions for 75 yards and two touchdowns coming into this game and put on a straight clinic. He caught all six of his targets for 98 yards and a whopping three touchdowns. That was a career performance and exactly what Green Bay needed from a receiving weapon.
