Green Bay Packers swept the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon. It was their third straight win after getting blown out by the San Francisco 49ers. They clinched a playoff spot later in the day when Dallas beat Los Angeles. Now, there were some people not satisfied with how Green Bay played. It has been deemed ugly by some. Packers are developing their identity as a football team. It might not be one that many people like because it’s not actually enjoyable, but they keep winning games which is all that matters.

Five Stars: Kenny Clark – What a game for KC. He played his ass off in this game. Why Clark has become a bit of a closer for this team is unknown. He seems to find himself later in the season. It is not like he is bad though for the other parts of the year. Just not at this level of a football player. Whether Dalvin Cook will play or not, Clark will be needed next week against Minnesota.

Other Five Stars: David Baktiari, Chandon Sullivan

Four Stars: Davante Adams – We have seen some good games from Adams since returning from injury, but this is almost there to him being at his best. Those two drops were unfortunate in the game because it turns into a nine catch and likely 120-130 yard performance. Still, seven catches for 104 yards with a touchdown is a great day. He did very well against the Bears secondary.

Other Four Stars: Bryan Bulaga, Jaire Alexander, Aaron Jones

Three Stars: Aaron Rodgers – This is a good, not great effort from Rodgers. I want you to consider a couple of things with this game. If Marquez Valdes-Scantling comes up with the first catch, Rodgers throws for 266 yards and two touchdowns. If Rodgers doesn’t have two or three additional drops in the game, he is around 300 and who knows maybe they add another score. Rodgers had a solid game. I never felt like this was a bad outing from him. It becomes average for the reasons above. You may call me a Rodgers apologist but that’s fine.

Other Three Stars: Dean Lowry

Two Stars: Z’Darius Smith & Preston Smith – For the first time all year, it felt like the Smith Bros didn’t really impact the game. That’s okay. It has been 15 weeks. I cannot expect them to be involved with every game possible on the list. My only hope is that the Bears did not figure out a way to slow them down because that would be worrisome moving forward.

One Star: Marquez Valdes-Scantling – Ah MVS, poor guy. I feel bad because he is a good player with a decent head on his shoulders yet it doesn’t seem like the football thing is connecting for him. He might just be raw and need time to develop yet that’s not the business the Packers are in right now.
