The Lass Word: Pack Actually Better Than Top Teams at 4th Quarter Defense

I hear you. I know. Despite how well the Packers play, it gets so frustrating to see their defense get soft late in the game and give up tons of points, giving their opponents hope and keeping the outcome in doubt. It happened again last Sunday night. Green Bay took a 41-10 lead into the 4th quarter, only to lay back and watch the Bears run off 15 unanswered points and close the lead to 16, with just under 4 minutes still left in the game. I shudder to think what might have been if Chicago had recovered that onside kick and got the ball back.
