After struggling out of the gate, the Green Bay Packers defensive line finally showed up in a big way during Sunday night’s win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Prior to Sunday Night Football, the Packers defense had looked very much like a work in progress to start the 2021 season. After giving up 38 points to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1, the Packers struggled to do anything to get pressure on Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions in the first half of Week 2.
The pressure numbers were particularly concerning heading into Sunday’s nationally televised contest.
