Cheese Curds, 6/23: Will Packers carry over late-season successes on defense to 2023?

The 2022 Green Bay Packers gave up 23 or more points in 9 of their first 12 games. only one of those performances saw the team give up more than 30, but they were consistently in the 23-to-28 point range throughout much of the first two-thirds of the season.

Then, following their worst performance of the year — a 40-point, 500-yard abomination in Philadelphia — the defense seemed to figure something out. The final five games saw the team give no more than 20 points in any contest, forcing 12 turnovers in that span which matched the 12 takeaways they had through the first 12 games.
