Dictating Defenses Dominate. The Packers defense did in 2019 and finished in the top 10 in scoring defense for the first time since 2010. Za’Darius and Preston Smith wreaked havoc on QBs, and the secondary full of (what seemed like) rising stars forced the third most interceptions (17). Flash forward to 2020, despite the 4-1…

However, the defense’s 4th quarter performance was reminiscent of the 2016 Packers…
