If you’re looking through numbers on the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, you find one familiar theme: They’re really bad on the defensive side of the ball right now. Yes, the team is coming off of holding the New England Patriots to just 16 points in London, but the defense is allowing 27.7 points per game this year — a mark only behind the Dallas Cowboys (28.0) and Carolina Panthers (34.7).
Former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator and New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, who was hired this past week by the Packers to help reverse engineer defenses for Green Bay’s offense, couldn’t have picked a better time to join the team.
