Packers: Grades for the Week 12 win over the Rams
The Green Bay Packers were able to beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12, meaning they’ve now swept the NFC West during the 2021 campaign – which is widely considered to be the toughest division in football.
The team played well in all three phases of the game.
Let’s give out some grades for the 36-28 win over Matthew Stafford and Co.
Packers Offensive Grade: A-
The Packers’ offense in Week 12 was very good, despite not having a very good ground game. The offense had no turnovers and when they were in rhythm, they had a good chance of scoring. Even though the team punted five times, there were enough big plays and scoring to warrant the grade.
Individual Grades:
- Randall Cobb: A-
- Aaron Rodgers: A-
- Davante Adams: A-
- Billy Turner: B+
- AJ Dillon: B
- Marquez Valdes Scantling: B
- Royce Newman: C-
- Aaron Jones: D-
- Yosh Nijman: D-
Packers Defensive Grade: B+
After a bit of an off-week in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers’ defense got back to their play-making ways that have filled this season. Most of the yardage was given up on just a few misstep plays, and I think it’s quite impressive that they held the Rams to one of their lower point totals of the season.
Individual Grades:
- Rasul Douglas: A
- Krys Barnes: A
- Kenny Clark: B+
- Rashan Gary: B+
- Eric Stokes: B-
- Henry Black: C+
- De’Vondre Campbell: C+
- Adrian Amos: C+
- Dean Lowry: D-
Packers Special Teams Grade: C+
Can the Packers go one week without a special teams blunder? I love Mason Crosby as much as the next Packers fan, but he’s getting hard to defend because he leads the league in missed kicks currently. Also, I really wish the team had a good return man. At least we have Corey Bojorquez.
Individual Grades:
- Corey Bojorquez: A+
- Mason Crosby: B-
- Amari Rodgers: C
- Randall Cobb: C-
