In their first six games of the season, the Green Bay Packers allowed an average of 26.5 points per game.

In their past six, they are allowing 17.3 including five games holding their opponents under 20 points.

It’s the dramatic rise of Green Bay’s defense that sets this team up well for a rematch against a team that put 38 past them earlier in the season.

While the focus of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game between the Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will center around Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, two all-world quarterbacks battling for the first time in the postseason, slipping under the radar is Green Bay’s defense.
