GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett dubbed it the “gold zone,” and in 2020 Green Bay was as good as gold inside their opponent’s twenty yard line. This year though has been a different story with the Packers only converting on 11 of their 20 trips.
That could become more of an issue against a stout Bears defense this week that ranks third overall in the red zone.
“Any time you have a great scheme with great players that give great effort, that’s a problem. It’s not a surprise to me that they’re a top five defense,” said head coach Matt LaFleur.
