Our weekly "Chips Report" will always include two blue chips (outstanding, exceptional play), two red chips (good, although maybe not great) and two cow chips (dud performances). From the Green Bay Packers' 53-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles...

Blue Chips

• Linebacker Clay Matthews—Despite the Eagles getting a sneak peek of Matthews' debut at inside linebacker a week earlier, there's nothing they could do gameplan around him. Matthews once again looked solid at his new position, but he remained a dangerous pass rusher coming off the edge. He wasn't fooled on a second-quarter bootleg by Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez, dropping him for a 10-yard loss on third down and limiting the Eagles to a field goal instead of a touchdown in the early going. Matthews finished with five tackles, one for a loss, a pass defensed and two quarterback hits.
• Quarterback Aaron Rodgers—It was an efficient day for Rodgers, throwing for 341 yards and three touchdowns while once again avoiding an interception, extending an NFL record in the process. The Packers quarterback surpassed 300 pass attempts at Lambeau Field without throwing an interception, a home streak that's without equal in league history. Rodgers also got the job done with his feet, rushing three times for 32 yards, an average of 10.7 yards per carry. For a second consecutive game, Rodgers played so well early in the game and got the Packers out to such a commanding lead, he got most of the fourth quarter off.

Red Chips

• Packers starting offensive line—It's difficult to single out any one player, but the entire line played well as a unit, keeping the pocket clean and opening up holes for more than 100 rushing yards. Considering guards Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang continue to nurse injuries and miss practice time, their performance was particularly notable. By getting out to an insurmountable lead, the Packers were able to take them out of the game early and give them some rest. Unfortunately, the second-string offensive line didn't play nearly as well, as both Lane Taylor and J.C. Tretter showed they have plenty of room for improvement. David Bakhtiari, Bryan Bulaga and Corey Linsley are also deserving of being singled out for strong  performances.
• Linebacker Julius Peppers—He may have made only one tackle on the afternoon, but Peppers' impact goes beyond a mere tallying of tackles. He contributed to two turnovers, obviously one being his 52-yard interception return for a touchdown after dropping into coverage. He also helped to force another by getting in the face of Sanchez, hurrying an ill-advised throw and an interception by cornerback Tramon Williams. Had Casey Hayward not been Johnny on the Spot on the fumble return for a touchdown, Peppers may have gotten yet another, escorting Hayward into the end zone.

Cow Chips

• Punter Tim Masthay—The shortcomings on special teams weren't solely Masthay's fault, but he certainly didn't help matters. His biggest miscue of the day was a snap going through his hands on an extra-point attempt, one of two botched point-after attempts on the day. Another was blocked. On Masthay's lone punt, the net distance was just 34 yards when pinning the Eagles inside the 20 shouldn't have been out of the question. He was also part of a unit that got a punt blocked and was the holder on Crosby's lone field-goal miss of the season that wasn't blocked.
• Safety Morgan Burnett—Like Peppers, tackles don't tell the whole story. Burnett led the Packers with 10 tackles, but he hurt the team's cause with a costly miss of wide receiver Jordan Matthews, which led to a 10-yard touchdown for the Eagles. Other Packers defensive backs like Tramon Williams, Casey Hayward and Micah Hyde made up for mistakes with turnovers and touchdowns, but Burnett didn't make any such impact plays.
