Packers’ Jekyll and Hyde defense must find consistency

Against the Bears, it was the first few drives. The next week, it was the final few for the Vikings. On a sloppy day in Washington, it was the entire first half.

Mike Pettine’s defense has given up 10-0 runs, 14-0 runs, and 14-3 runs at various points this season. Alex Smith and Co. hit up the Green Bay Packers’ defense for 28 in the first half. Kirk Cousins hung 22 on Pettine’s crew in just the fourth quarter. Even Mitch Trubisky got 10 straight to open the season.
