The Packers defense is good enough to keep Green Bay going while the offense recaptures its mojo

Matt LaFleur's side of the ball has been a struggle of late, but the defense showed again Monday night it is capable of carrying the load.

The Green Bay Packers aren’t going to lose many games holding opponents to 10 points. Well, aside from Monday night. And aside from the two other games where the defense held the opponent to 16 or fewer points and the team still lost, the most losses of any team in the NFL. But the offense is going to figure it out. They’re too good to be this bad. Luckily, Micah Parsons, Jeff Hafley, and the fellas can hold the offense down while they figure it out.

Monday night resurfaced the version of the Packers defense we saw in the first three weeks. The front disrupted the passing game, reset the line of scrimmage in the run game, set hard edges, and second-level defenders flew to the ball.

This was a Philadelphia Eagles offense that entered the game with an extra week to prepare and was said to have figured out their offensive struggles. They were getting under center, pounding teams in the run game, and hitting them over the top with play action.

According to The Ringer’s Sheil Kapadia, Monday night was the worst regular season game by success rate of the Jalen Hurts/Nick Sirianni era. Overall, it was a sixth percentile offensive performance.

And they won.
