The Green Bay Packers defense ranks first in the NFL in third-down conversion percentage to start 2022. A big reason why? A truly dominant start on third-and-long situations.
Opponents are 0-for-21 converting 3-and-8 or longer against the Packers this season.
Over the 21 third-and-long plays, opponents are averaging just 2.7 yards and have only 48 net passing yards.
The most yards allowed on a third-and-long play came on an 11-yard completion to Bucs tight end Cameron Brate on 3rd-and-30.
Edge rusher Rashan Gary has two sacks and a tackle on 3rd-and-8 or more. Cornerback Eric Stokes has a team-high four tackles, all short of the sticks.
