The Differing NFC North Defenses Deciding the Division

The NFC North defenses inspire a lot of intrigue, but not a lot confidence.

Last year, Green Bay put forth a dominant effort when Minnesota travelled to Green Bay in Week 17. Jaire Alexander backed up the chatter by pestering Justin Jefferson all day, leading to one of the most modest games of Jefferson’s career: just a single catch and 15 yards. Of course, Alexander isn’t alone when it comes to talented Packers defenders. De’Vondre Campbell, Kenny Clark, and Rashan Gary are all strong players.
