Packers big victory over Rams: The grades:
Rodgers said this is their second straight game they should’ve dropped at least 40 points on their opponent’s head and it’s hard to argue with him. They had a good game, to be sure, but they also left a lot on the field. In five red zone attempts, they only came away with points on three of them. That continues to be a weakness for this team.
Offense: B+
The defense was definitely opportunistic as they forced two turnovers including one pick-six. The other turnover came on a Rashan Gary strip-sack that Preston Smith recovered and took to the six-yard-line. They lose points for two gigantic plays they gave up: a 79-yard touchdown pass to Van Jefferson and a 54-yard touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. If you take those two plays away t’s a great day for this defense.
Defense: B
Next. Packers' AJ Dillon makes impact in passing game. dark
Mason Crosby’s nightmare season continues as he missed yet another field goal on Sunday (the good news is he did make three of them as well as all three extra points). However, this unit can’t go one game without making a huge mistake–this time it was a Cobb fumble on the punt return. They do get points for forcing and recovering a fumble on a punt of their own.
Special Teams: C-
