As long as the Green Bay Packers keep scoring 40-plus points every game, their defense can afford the occasional lapses that have marked their first two performances.
But the reality of the situation is that Green Bay’s defense must improve because its offense can’t maintain this electrifying pace all season.
“We can’t have any up-and-down moments, any roller coaster moments where we start off good and then we have our dips and then come back up,” outside linebacker Preston Smith said. “We’ve got to kind of reach our peak, stay there and keep on rising.”
It’s easy to pinpoint those dips.
