Packers: It’s not time to panic about the defense after Week 4

The Eagles destroyed the Packers on the ground with 176 rushing yards, and three touchdowns for Jordan Howard, one of which came through the air. The Packers lost this game for a number of reasons, but the most glaring culprit was the wide open holes that the running backs were repeatedly supplied with.

The Packers had only given up 35 points combined through the first three games, but against the Eagles, they surrendered 34. But while a lot of the “same ol’ Packers” sentiment is spreading like jet fuel across Packer Nation, there are reasons to be optimistic about the team’s ability to position itself for a playoff run.
