This time a week ago, I was writing about how the Green Bay Packers' pass rush wasn't even close to being as productive as it was in 2019. After finishing fourth in pressure rate last season - a pressure is a sack, a quarterback hit, or a hurry - through five games in 2020, Green Bay ranked 31st in that same category. And the Packers' 53 total pressures at that point didn't even compare to the 128 that they had in their first five games just one year ago.
This, of course, had a negative trickle-down effect on other parts of the defense, including Green Bay's play in the red zone, where they haven't been nearly as effective, along with a lack of turnovers after finishing top-10 in that category in 2019.
