Packers find it 'hard to play defense now' with QB roughing calls

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike Daniels wasn’t sure whether Kirk Cousins had thrown the ball, which made it look like the Green Bay Packers defensive tackle gave up on the play after he didn’t hit the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback.

Daniels soon discovered that Cousins tucked it and scrambled out of trouble on the third-quarter play in Sunday’s 29-29 tie at Lambeau Field.

But Daniels also said another thought popped into his head.

“If I wrap him and take him down -- [Vikings guard Mike] Remmers is already on me, and Remmers is going to fall on me -- then I fall on the quarterback, and now it’s [a 15-yard penalty],” Daniels said.
