Proving that when it counts, Parsons and the rest of the Packers defense step up to the plate.<\/p>\n<h2>Packers Defense Has Been A Mixed Bag In 2025<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">The Packers defense is by no means a \u201cbad\u201d defense. In fact, one would be hard pressed to say at this point that it is anything but a \u201cgood\u201d one, relative to the rest of the\u00a0NFL.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">It ranks 6th in total defense, and actually 1st in run defense. However, the troubles start to come in the pass defense, where Green Bay come in at just 15th \u2013 middle of the pack.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">For a pass rush that boasts not one but four former first round picks \u2013 three of whom were selected in the top-15 and play as an edge rusher \u2013 15th in the league against the pass is certainly not ideal.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Although sacks themselves are not necessarily the issue, as the team came into week 7 6th in the league in that department, they are allowing quarterbacks to make plays downfield.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">It is also worth noting that whilst the team are a top-10 unit in sacks, that does not fully track with the totality of their pass-rushing endeavours.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">ESPN\u00a0ranks the Packers 12th in pass-rush-win-rate, which calculates the percentage of times a rusher manages to beat his block within 2.5 seconds of the ball being snapped.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Parsons is now at 5.5 sacks on the season, and as he continues to acclimatize to the defense, fans will hope that he continues to get better and better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Micah Parsons Sets Personal Record After Narrow Week 7 Win The\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0will go back to the Midwest thankful that they escaped with a win, having secured&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":110153,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
