2. TE Marcedes Lewis: 84.7
3. TE Robert Tonyan: 77.2
4. C Josh Myers: 64.4
5. WR Allen Lazard: 60.3

Bakhtiari gave up just one pressure (against Carl Lawson) over 45 pass-blocking snaps and earned his best run-blocking grade of the season. Lewis graded out as an elite run-blocker over 14 run-blocking snaps. Tonyan caught 10 of 12 targets and created four first downs while averaging a season-high 2.43 yards per route run. Myers was the only offensive lineman to not give up a pressure in pass pro. Lazard made two of the biggest plays of the game, catching a 35-yarder in traffic and then hauling in a 25-yard touchdown.

Top 5 defense

1. OLB Kingsley Enagbare: 90.5
2. S Adrian Amos: 73.8
3. DL Dean Lowry: 73.1
4. OLB Preston Smith: 71.3
5. DL Kenny Clark: 69.8

Enagbare delivered a sack on only four pass-rushing snaps and held up fine over seven run-defense snaps on the edge. Amos had seven total tackles without a miss, gave up just one completion in coverage and had a pressure on a blitz. Lowry batted down a pass and had one stop against the run. Smith delivered three hurries and two stops against the run. Clark missed a tackle but had two pressures and a stop.

Bottom 5 offense

1. LG Jon Runyan: 42.8
2. WR Juwann Winfree: 43.4
3. WR Romeo Doubs: 45.6
4. RG Royce Newman: 47.6
5. RB A.J. Dillon: 48.0

Runyan gave up four pressures and earned the team’s lowest run-blocking grade while primarily facing Quinnen Williams. Winfree dropped his only target and didn’t have a catch despite running 10 routes. Doubs caught only four of seven targets for 21 yards on 47 routes. He also had a drop and caught only one of three contested targets. Newman gave up five pressures and a sack and was terrible on true pass sets. Dillon had two drops and produced only 11 yards on six targets as a receiver.

Bottom 5 defense

1. DL TJ Slaton: 33.6
2. CB Eric Stokes: 42.4
3. LB Quay Walker: 45.9
4. CB Rasul Douglas: 55.9

Slaton played 20 snaps but didn’t have a pressure or a tackle. Stokes gave up two catches for 57 yards over 21 coverage snaps, including a 41-yarder. Walker missed a tackle and earned the lowest run defense grade among front seven defenders. Douglas, who played 20 snaps in the slot, missed two tackles. Gary had a sack and three pressures but also missed two tackles and played the run poorly.

Quarterback

Aaron Rodgers: 59.3

Rodgers produced three big-time throws but also two turnover-worthy plays. He dropped back to pass 45 times but created only nine passing first downs. He averaged 6.0 yards per attempt and completed only 4-of-12 passes thrown 10 or more yards in the air. The Jets had him under pressure on 15 dropbacks.

This was the Packers’ lowest-graded special teams performance of the season. Eric Wilson blocked a punt but had a 10-yard penalty, Keisean Nixon returned well but missed a tackle, and both Mason Crosby and Pat O’Donnell had a kick blocked.
