In the NFL’s wild card weekend, the green bay packers will fly to dallas to face the dallas cowboys. Last sunday, they earned their spot by defeating the chicago bears 17-9.
Five packers players were sacks in that game: kenny clark, quay walker, devonte wyatt, lukas van ness, and karl brooks. In fact, the packers’ defense has been solid in the last two games.
Following their near-disaster against the carolina panthers, the packers only allowed one touchdown, a seven-yard drive against the minnesota vikings, after a samori toure fumbe on a punt return. Jaire alexander, the star cornerback who has missed ten games this season due to injury or suspension, did not practice on thursday due to an ankle injury sustained in practice on wednesday. Green bay’s coordinators spoke to the media today, and defensive coordinator joe barry discussed the severity of the injury and packers’ defensive strategy going forward.
Joe barry wishes he could change one thing about his game against the chicago bears. The defense has excelled in the last two games, as previously mentioned.
Although green bay was able to keep the bears out of the end zone last sunday, barry did say one thing that he wishes had been better: “we should’ve had seven or eight,” barry said. the dallas cowboys have been sacked 39 times this season, ranking sixth in the NFL.
To keep dallas’ explosive attack at bay, the packers’ pass rush must be on point. Missed tackles in the backfield could cost a lot to one of the league’s best teams.
