A lot has gone off the rails in this disappointing 2022 season, but there might be no bigger letdown than the performance of the Packers’ defense. Loaded with talent, the defense was supposed to make up for an offense that was anticipated to struggle with the loss of Davante Adams.
Half of that came true. Although the Packers’ offense has cleaned it up a bit as the season has progressed, they aren’t the once-perennial top 5-10 unit that we’re used to with a healthy Aaron Rodgers under center. While the offense shoulders much of the blame for several losses this year, the defense has somehow underperformed even more drastically.
