Clay Matthews doing his part in Packers' flourishing pass rush

The Packers' two highest-paid edge rushers -- Clay Matthews and Nick Perry -- haven't necessarily been nonexistent, but they haven't been their formerly explosive selves either.

Perry has only mustered a sack-and-a-half in every game he's played this season. He's set to miss his first action this year Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks.

Matthews is one sack ahead of Perry at 2.5, however, his number would likely be higher had it not been for a couple of roughing the passer calls earlier this season.

How does a team without consistent pressure from two of its top outside linebackers generate enough sacks through nine games to have them sitting pretty at a league-leading 31 by mid-November?
