The Green Bay Packers played what could be considered their two best games of the season in back-to-back weeks ahead of Thursday night’s showdown with the mighty Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
By no means are “grades” from Pro Football Focus the be-all, end-all when it comes to evaluating performance, but the Packers received their highest overall grades of the season as a team during a 38-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers and 30-17 win over the Miami Dolphins over the last two weeks. Most importantly, the grades match the eye test.
In both games, the Packers dominated the line of scrimmage on offense, defended the run well and tackled well.
