For the second week in a row, I predicted the Packers to win a blowout. And while it wasn't necessarily a blowout due to some classic fourth and long Mike Pettine defense and yet another special teams disaster, the Packers were still never in any real danger of losing the game. 

There was definitely some nervousness on Twitter at a couple parts of the game, particularly after the punt return touchdown, but also right at the beginning of the game. 

The Packers allowed a long scoring drive to open the game. But after burning seven minutes of clock the Eagles had to settle for a field goal, and that essentially sealed their fate.

A fluke opening drive for the Packers' offense might have made some fans nervous, but had Aaron Jones not inexplicably dropped the opening toss, the Packers could well have driven down the field to score.

When the Packers' defense hit the field next, a pair of back to back sacks knocked the Eagles out of scoring range, allowing the Packers to get the ball back and never look back again for the rest of the game. 

The plays

The two plays in question exemplify some outstanding production the Packers got out of their 2019 draft class on Sunday, and show just how much some of these players are beginning to come into their own.

The first came on a second and eight from the Packers' 30-yard line. Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz took a snap out of the shotgun, and for a moment it looked like the Packers might bring an extra rusher, but it ended up just being the four-man tandem of Rashan Gary, Kenny Clark, Kingsley Keke and Preston Smith.

Smith and Clark both shoved their men right back into the quarterback, which forced Wentz to step up into the pocket. However, Keke held tight in the middle, giving Wentz nowhere to go. Gary managed to change from a bull rush (that appeared effective) into a swim move to get back inside his man when he saw Wentz forced up inside. The result was his first sack of the day, one that knocked the Eagles back to the Packers' 33 and setting up a third and long.

At this point, the Eagles are still in position for a more-than-makeable 50-yard field goal. The Eagles go out of the gun again, and this time the Packers bring a four man front of (from left to right) Preston Smith, Keke, Gary (on the inside) and Za'Darius Smith. Again, no extra rushers here--just four men on five offensive linemen, and the Packers' front whips them.

Both Gary and Keke get tremendous push on the inside, forcing Wentz out to his right. Keke actually falls down here, but no matter. Wentz appears to have a hard time discerning how good of a block his line has on Preston Smith; he thinks about going outside the tackle, but thinks twice, doubling back inside, nearly getting sacked by Preston in the process. That hesitation back to the inside gives Keke the time he needs to get back to his feet and make the huge sack as soon as Wentz turns his head toward him.

The result is a nine or 10 yard loss that pushes the Eagles back out of field goal range, and out of fourth-down conversion territory given the distance to go.

When the Packers got the ball back, they drove right down the field and scored their first touchdown of the day on a fourth-down conversion to Davante Adams. The Packers never looked back after this, and the outcome was never really in doubt.

A lot of people foolishly proclaimed Gary to be a bust or a bad pick, but his trajectory throughout the 2020 season has been very exciting. This was the second week in a row he was out for the game's first play over Preston Smith, but his stretch of outstanding play goes back weeks now. He appears to be developing a more versatile arsenal of pass rush moves. 

More than anything else with Gary, though, what's so exciting is that the man just does not stop ticking. "High motor" may be a bit of a cliche, but it also might actually be insufficient to describe what we see with Gary on the field. He is absolutely relentless in both pass rush and in run pursuit. We're just starting to see his potential come to fruition, and if he continues to improve at the same rate, he could already be a Pro Bowl caliber player in 2021. 

And let's not take anything away from the rest of the Packers' 2019 draft class. Elgton Jenkins is, of course, already a stud. But Darnell Savage has three picks in the last two weeks and has been playing some outstanding football since October, shaking off a rough first month of the season. Keke has also been steadily improving with increased playing time and is starting to look like a gem in his own right. And if Jace Sternberger continues to improve steadily alongside Robert Tonyan, the Packers are going to have a real nice stable of young tight ends, especially once the promising rookie Josiah Deguara returns to action in 2021. 

It's just a reminder of why you never judge a draft class on draft night.
