Line play has been a critical factor in the Green Bay Packers’ success this season, on both sides of the football. The Packers’ offensive line has remained largely healthy and cohesive this season, with the only major injury — to left guard Lane Taylor — effectively becoming a positive by elevating rookie Elgton Jenkins into the lineup. Meanwhile, the Packers have used two-down fronts effectively this season on defense, getting pressure from Kenny Clark on the interior while the outside linebackers (primarily the Smiths) feast on the outside.
The Packers’ Divisional opponents, the Seattle Seahawks, have had a much different trend this season.
