By standard statistical measures, the defense of the Green Bay Packers had its struggles last year.
Green Bay finished 22nd in overall defense, 21st in points allowed and were 31st against the pass as injuries to the secondary led to opponents finding room to move the football. The Packers did finish as the eighth best run defense in the league allowing just 94.7 yards per game on the ground.
But despite some of the obvious issues the Packers had, defensive tackle Mike Daniels feels the unit played quite well given the circumstances.
