The Green Bay Packers’ secondary gave up a huge day to Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson in week one. However, Jefferson’s career day (9 catches for 184 yards and two scores) has been the only dark spot on what is otherwise a very solid start to the season overall by the team’s pass defense.
Indeed, The Packers’ performance against all receiving threats they have faced not named Jefferson has been generally excellent. Excluding Jefferson’s big day — while acknowledging that it still needs to be included in the overall look at the defense — the team has allowed 52 completions on 74 pass attempts for 434 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
