Packers Defenders Shatter Records, Join Exclusive NFL Elite — What It Means for the Season Ahead
Ever wonder what it takes for a defense to not just survive, but thrive in today’s NFL chaos? Well, the Green Bay Packers made a bold move hiring Jeff Hafley to revamp a unit many had written off — and guess what? It’s paying off in ways that might just surprise you. Despite coughing up 40 points to Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, the Pack stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some elite company when it comes to pressuring quarterbacks. They’re one of only five teams boasting at least five pass rushers with double-digit QB pressures — and here’s the kicker — they’ve done it in fewer games than anyone else on the list. With Micah Parsons leading the charge and Lambeau Field ready for a showdown against the Bengals’ shaky offensive line, this defense looks primed to rattle cages and raise eyebrows. So, can Green Bay’s revamped defense silence its critics and unleash havoc? I’m all eyes on this developing story…
The Green Bay Packers hired defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley last season to turn around their underperforming unit.
It didn’t take long before the former Boston College head coach made an impact.
Now, even though the Packers gave up 40 points to Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, they still rank near the top in a major defensive category.
According to insider Jacob Morley, the Packers are one of five teams to have at least five pass rushers with at least 10 QB pressures, along with the Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos.

As impressive as that is, the Packers are the only team on that list that has played four games, while each of the others has played five.
The Packers excelled at putting pressure on the quarterback last season, and adding Micah Parsons this preseason made them even better.
He’s leading the NFL in pressures per game (6.25), and that’s despite being on a snap count in the first two games.
The Packers entered their bye week after a disappointing tie in which the defense failed to slow down the Cowboys.
As such, Green Bay should be extremely motivated to prove the doubters wrong when it takes the field against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6.
With the Bengals’ subpar offensive line set to visit Lambeau Field, the Packers’ pass-rushing numbers should only go even higher.
