Packers Defense Struggles In Loss To Atlanta

Packers Defense Struggles In Loss To Atlanta

one year ago

The Green Bay Packers defense generated one interception, one sack and allowed 25 points in the team's 25-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. It was a letdown after last week's two turnovers and four-sack performance against the Chicago Bears. The run game and clock control of the Atlanta Falcons ultimately cost the Packers the victory late in the contest, and the team's defensive stats suffered because of it. Green Bay has a good enough defense to be fantasy-relevant, but the matchup has to be right. Next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints is decent, but the floor is low for the Packers if they can't find a way to generate turnovers. Consider Green Bay a boom-or-bust streaming option in Week 3.
