The Green Bay Packers still lead the league in turnovers, with cornerbacks Sam Shields and Casey Hayward contributing interceptions against the Dolphins. On the topic of fumbles, Aaron Rodgers coughed up the ball once, but T.J. Lang pounced on it, and Julius Peppers recovered a Lamar Miller fumble.

The rookie wide receiver, who led the NCAA in receptions and receiving touchdowns last year, continues to prove to be a great target for Aaron Rodgers. He had his first NFL touchdown last week and against the Dolphins, Adams caught six passes for 77 yards.

After a great performance against the Vikings last week, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Eddie Lacy, rushed 14 times for just 40 yards against the Dolphins. James Starks was better but still not great, with 31 yards on just eight runs. Fullback John Kuhn rushed four times for 15 yards, but no Packer running back was able to average four yards per carry. The Dolphins' run defense looked sharp on Sunday.

The pass rushers who took down Tom Brady and the Patriots in Week 1 looked sharp once again; taking Aaron Rodgers down for three sacks and pressuring him steadily throughout the game. It was Rodgers' ability to scramble and make plays happen that saved the Packers on Sunday.

Think this is a stretch? It's not. He had a couple of minutes left in the fourth quarter and needed to get about 60 yards. Rodgers threw completions to five receivers on touchdown drive that won the game. He dealt with a great pass rush from the Dolphins all day and still managed to give his team the win. He has a combination of intelligence, athleticism and is resilient under pressure to an extreme that is unbelievably rare.
