Packers PFF grades: Best, worst players from Week 10 vs. Seahawks
The Green Bay Packers used a powerful performance from running back A.J. Dillon and a suffocating effort from the defense to beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Dillon scored a pair of touchdowns and gained 128 total yards, while the Packers defense tortured Russell Wilson in his comeback from a finger injury.
Based on grades from Pro Football Focus, here are the best and worst performers from the Packers’ Week 10 win over the Seahawks.

Newman gave up just one pressure in pass pro and earned his highest overall grade as a run blocker this season.
Turner allowed one pressure and finished only slightly behind Newman for the top run-blocking grade along the offensive line.
Jenkins earned an elite pass-blocking grade even though he was penalized once for holding.
Valdes-Scantling created an explosive play with a 41-yard catch in the first quarter and was effective as a blocker.
