Best and worst players after defeating the Cardinals in Week 6

The Green Bay Packers showed a great performance from Jordan Love and the passing game, as well as a few timely takeaways forced by young players, to cruise past the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

Right tackle Zach Tom was quietly dominant once again, while rookie safety Evan Williams continues to look like a legitimate playmaker.

Based on Pro Football Focus' grades, here are the best and worst players from the Packers' Week 6 win over the Cardinals:

Top 5 offenses

1. RT Zach Tom: 88.1
2. TE Ben Sims: 83.8
3. RB Josh Jacobs: 74.2
4. QB Jordan Love: 72.1
5. RB Emanuel Wilson: 72.0

Tom maintained his pressure across 36 pass-blocking snaps and earned an elite run-blocking rating. Sims was also among the elite run blockers, catching two passes for 38 yards, including a 28-yarder. Jacobs forced four missed tackles as a runner, had a 10-yard run and caught all three targets for 28 yards. Love was accurate (adjusted completion percentage of nearly 76.0) and efficient, averaging 8.2 yards per attempt with four touchdown passes and zero turnover-worthy plays. Wilson forced three missed tackles, had two runs for 10 yards and a 19-yard catch while again handling pass-pro snaps without issue.

Top 5 defense

1. S Evan Williams: 93.3
2. DL Karl Brooks: 93.0
3. DE Rashan Gary: 81.7
4. LB Edgerrin Cooper: 81.0
5. CB Jaire Alexander: 70.7

Williams forced a fumble, gave Kyler Murray a run stop on third down and allowed just one completion in his coverage, putting him at an elite level. Brooks forced a fumble and recovered it. Gary was pressured three times, including a QB hit, and earned the team's best run defense grade. Cooper led the team with three stops and made six tackles without a miss. Alexander missed a tackle and was credited with giving up the only touchdown pass, but he still received an excellent coverage grade.

Below 5 attack

1. WR Malik Heath: 45.5
2. TE Tucker Kraft: 49.0
3. OL Jordan Morgan: 49.9
4. OL Elgton Jenkins: 52.1
5. LT Rasheed Walker: 53.0

Heath was not targeted for five runs, posted a below-average grade in 12 run-blocking snaps and received a penalty. Kraft only had 13 receiving yards despite running 29 routes and was only OK as a blocker. Morgan gave up a pressure and was poor in the run game. Jenkins gave up the pressure and missed two penalties. Walker gave up four runs and received a declined holding penalty.

Defending the bottom 5

1. DE Lukas Van Ness: 30.0
2. DL Kenny Clark: 44.0
3. DE Preston Smith: 44.2
4. LB Quay Walker: 49.2
5. LB Isaiah McDuffie: 51.3

Van Ness faced no pressure over 17 pass-rushing snaps and struggled against the run. Clark had two pressures and a fumble recovery, but he missed two tackles and earned a low run defense grade. Smith had just one rush and one assisted tackle over 30 snaps. Walker battled well, but was credited with giving up a team-high nine completions despite his coverage. McDuffie missed three tackles and gave up two completions.

Special teams

Rookie Ty'Ron Hopper had two tackles and one assisted tackle. Edgerrin Cooper, Javon Bullard, Zayne Anderson and Bo Melton also had tackles involving kicks and punts. Anderson had a missed tackle and the only penalty. Daniel Whelan's only punt went out of bounds at the 8-yard line. Brayden Narveson missed from 44 yards. Keisean Nixon had a 39-yard punt return to set up a touchdown and a season-long 37-yard kickoff return.

Quarterback game

Jordan Love: 72.1

Love had one great throw (44-yard touchdown to Christian Watson) and zero turnover-worthy plays (interception negated by receiver slip). He only attempted three passes of 20 yards, opting instead to attack underneath and in intermediate areas. He was 4 of 5 passing for 81 yards and had a score on passes between 10 and 19 yards through the air. Love completed seven passes for 112 yards and one touchdown off play. He was only under pressure on 11 of 36 dropbacks (30.6 percent). In addition to four touchdown passes, Love also caught 13 completions for first downs.

Stat knowing

Jordan Love was not blitzed on 22 dropbacks. He completed 16 of 20 passes for 197 yards (9.9 per attempt) and three touchdown passes and fought for first downs twice. He posted an elite 89.6 passing grade when not facing the Cardinals' shaky pass rush.
