Packers victory over Steelers: The good, the bad, the grade

The Green Bay Packers won their third consecutive game and moved to 3-1 on the young season thanks to a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Despite winning 27-17, it was a pretty meh game for Green Bay in all facets. It definitely wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. Let’s check out who played well, what needs improvement, and grade their three units.

Let’s check out what went well, what sucked, and grade the unit’s performances in the Green Bay Packers’ victory over the Steelers.

The good: Randall Cobb, Corey Bojorquez, A.J. Dillon, Rashan Gary

Randall Cobb made both the general manager and quarterback versions of Aaron Rodgers look good on Sunday. He hauled in five of his six targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns. He also came up big on a number of third downs and was one of Rodgers’ favorite targets in the game.

Corey Bojorquez continues to be a good acquisition for Green Bay. He pinned the Steelers inside their five-yard line on one punt and flipped the field with a 57-yarder later in the game.

A.J. Dillon had 15 carries for 81 yards (5.4 yards per rush) and paced the team on offense. That’s the same number of carries Aaron Jones received, but Dillon was a lot more effective. He’s a big bruising back with just enough quickness to jet in and out of cuts. He’ll continue to be a great back for the Packers, especially as the weather turns.

With Za’Darius Smith out and Preston Smith going to the sideline early in the game due to an injury, Rashan Gary was asked to carry a heavy load. And he responded with a pretty solid game. He finished with six total tackles, three pressures (two hurries and a sack) and a 70.5 percent pass rush win rate according to PFF.
