2. Green Bay Packers

While a controversial goal-line ending overshadowed the game against the Carolina Panthers, it was the Packers’ robust blocking brigade from the blizzardy confines of Lambeau Field that was worth more than one or two reviews.

The Panthers’ defense, ranked ninth overall against the pass, was aided by the weather, and the general understanding that Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers—regardless of the pressure and disguises, he’ll usually find a way to, at the very least, not lose the game. That left the running game as the focal point for Panthers, and another understanding: The Packers are 16th in the league, with an O-line ranked 28th in run blocking. That most likely gave Ron Rivera and the defensive staff a little more confidence with a 27th-ranked run defense.

But it was the Packers’ weakness that outlasted the Panthers’ weakness. The combo of Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams each had 13 carries, totaling 156 yards on the ground and three touchdowns (all Jones’). The Packers’ line complemented that with their expected pass-protecting—ranked sixth overall—holding the Panthers’ rush to only two sacks and a handful of hits on Rodgers.

David Bakhtiari, Corey Linsley, Elgton Jenkins, Bryan Bulaga, and Billy Turner: After further review, the ruling on the field stands—great job!
