Elliott forced four missed tackles and had 98 rushing yards after contact against the Packers. Slot receiver Cole Beasley literally caught everything thrown his way against Packers. Beasley was targeted six times and caught all six. Beasley was also getting it done with his legs, as 59 of his 65 receiving yards came after the catch.

ED David Irving, 87.9

S Barry Church, 86.1

S Byron Jones, 78.9

Cornerback Morris Claiborne was thrown at four times by Aaron Rodgers, and he allowed two catches for 22 yards and only gave up three yards after the catch.

Quarterback grade: Aaron Rodgers, 37.8

Aaron Rodgers earns Green Bay’s lowest offensive grade

Aaron Rodgers was the Packers' lowest-graded offensive player against the Cowboys. On the stat sheet, Rodgers' numbers don’t look all that bad, as he completed an impressive 31 of 42 passes, had one TD and one INT, and his QB rating of 90.7 wasn’t terrible. However, Rodgers had a pretty rough stretch of play that featured a bad interception, a fumble in the pocket and also a missed thrown on what would have been a wide-open touchdown.

T Bryan Bulaga, 83.3

T David Bakhtiari, 81.7

T Jason Spriggs, 76.0

FB Aaron Ripowski, 75.3

G Lane Taylor, 74.4
