Top five performers for Packers in Week 10 win vs. Dolphins
By Jesse Fry
The Green Bay Packers’ top five performers in their Week 10 win over the Miami Dolphins.
The Packers got a much-needed win in what was their most complete game of the 2018 season. With the win the Packers are now back to .500.
The defense held the Dolphins to four field goals while recording six sacks and two turnovers.
The offense finally seemed to have the right balance with the run and pass, and went four-for-four in red zone opportunities. For only the second time this season, the Packers scored over 30 points in a game.
The game was not without its warts, as the special teams gave up a fake punt and a fumble leading to the Dolphins’ first points of the game, although none of which came back to haunt the Packers.
There were also a few injuries that bear watching especially on a short week. Kentrell Brice left with an ankle injury in the first quarter, Bashaud Breeland in the third with a groin injury and Jaire Alexander was being evaluated for a concussion towards the end of the game. Although Alexander returned, Breeland and Brice did not.
This was a game the Packers had to have and they did so in convincing fashion. That the Packers won with a double-digit margin should also not be lost in the story.
Had the Packers stumbled or let the Dolphins stick around, there may have been more doubt in the minds of the players. A 19-point victory will gladly be taken by the team as a building block for something bigger.
Here are the top five performers from the Week 10 win over the Dolphins.
