Packers Defenders Join Elite Company In Notable Stat

 

The Green Bay Packers hired defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley last season to turn around their underperforming unit.

It didn’t take long before the former Boston College head coach made an impact.

Now, even though the Packers gave up 40 points to Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, they still rank near the top in a major defensive category.

According to insider Jacob Morley, the Packers are one of five teams to have at least five pass rushers with at least 10 QB pressures, along with the Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos.

As impressive as that is, the Packers are the only team on that list that has played four games, while each of the others has played five.

The Packers excelled at putting pressure on the quarterback last season, and adding Micah Parsons this preseason made them even better.

He’s leading the NFL in pressures per game (6.25), and that’s despite being on a snap count in the first two games.

The Packers entered their bye week after a disappointing tie in which the defense failed to slow down the Cowboys.

As such, Green Bay should be extremely motivated to prove the doubters wrong when it takes the field against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6.

With the Bengals’ subpar offensive line set to visit Lambeau Field, the Packers’ pass-rushing numbers should only go even higher.
