Why Are the Packers and Bears Struggling to Define Their Defensive Identity This Season?

Why Are the Packers and Bears Struggling to Define Their Defensive Identity This Season?

The Packers started the season looking like they might be the cream of the crop in the NFC. They had some blips along the way, of course, but their defense looked great and their offense seemed to be clicking despite not having a ton of great talent at the skill positions. The team ended up going just 9-7-1 in the regular season and finishing second in the division. Maybe we should be impressed by that considering that Jordan Love played in 15 games, and missed most of the last game against the Bears. He had a good year finishing in the top 15 of quarterbacks in most categories, and third overall in QBR. The biggest turning point for the Packers really came against the Broncos when Micah Parsons went down. The defense which already had some shaky moments turned into a bit of a disappointment without their star player. They have lost every game without Parsons.
