Play of Packers’ Secondary Has Been Indefensible

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Through the first five games of the 2019 season, the Green Bay Packers intercepted seven passes.

Through the first five games of the 2022 season, the Packers have broken up seven passes.

For all the focus on Aaron Rodgers’ deep passing game and end-of-game play-calling and run defense, no part of this year’s Packers has been a bigger disappointment than Green Bay’s hyped secondary.

The Packers enter Sunday’s game with one interception and seven passes defensed. Both of those figures are an indictment of Joe Barry’s defense, but the passes defensed is spectacularly bad.
