Packers PFF Grades: Best, Worst Players From Win Over Commanders in Week 2
The Green Bay Packers walked away with a big win in Week 2, defeating the Washington Commanders 27–18. The victory was powered by clutch performances from several key players. Based on game film and stats, here’s a breakdown of the Packers’ PFF grades, highlighting the best and worst performers from the game.
Best Performers
Jordan Love – Quarterback
Jordan Love continued to impress in his second outing of the season. He threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. His decision-making looked sharp, and his pocket presence has clearly improved. Love was consistent on third downs and kept the offense moving. He likely scored one of the top PFF grades for Week 2.
Tucker Kraft – Tight End
Tucker Kraft had a breakout performance. He finished with six receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown. Kraft showed great route running and the ability to break tackles after the catch. He provided a reliable target for Love throughout the game. His blocking was also solid. Expect a high PFF grade for the young tight end.
Packers Defensive Line
The Packers’ pass rush dominated throughout the game. The defensive line recorded four sacks and kept pressure on the Commanders’ quarterback from start to finish. The constant disruption helped force bad throws and limit big plays. The defensive front was a key reason the Packers held Washington to just 18 points. Their PFF grades will reflect that dominance.
Underperformers
Offensive Line Depth
With several starters out, the Packers’ offensive line had some shaky moments. There were lapses in pass protection, especially on the right side. While they managed to hold up enough to allow the offense to function, pressure came through too often. Backup linemen may receive lower PFF grades this week due to missed assignments and pass-blocking issues.
Jayden Reed – Wide Receiver
Jayden Reed suffered a broken collarbone early in the first quarter. Before exiting, he didn’t have much impact. While the injury explains the quiet night, it could affect how his performance is graded. Injuries can lower a player’s snap count and productivity, which factors into overall PFF scores.
Secondary Struggles
The Packers’ secondary had some breakdowns late in the game. Although the pass rush helped mask some issues, Washington found success over the middle and on deep routes during key drives. Missed assignments and blown coverages could lead to lower grades for some members of the secondary.
Final Thoughts
The Packers showed great balance in their Week 2 win. The offense made explosive plays, and the defense stepped up when it mattered. Jordan Love and Tucker Kraft are emerging as reliable playmakers. The defensive line showed elite strength and consistency.
As the official PFF grades roll in, Green Bay fans should expect top marks for the quarterback, tight end, and front seven. Some areas still need work, especially in pass protection and coverage, but this team looks poised to build on its early success.
