Concerns about Packers defense linger as showdown with Kyle Shanahan looms large

The Green Bay Packers finally took a lead, the rain started to fall and Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions fell apart on Monday night at Lambeau Field. Joe Barry’s defense delivered five consecutive stops to end the game, including two takeaways, and the Packers waltzed to a comfortable 18-point win over the Lions.

Maybe the finish will create some much-needed confidence and momentum for the Packers defense. Barry better hope so because a showdown with Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers looms large on Sunday night in Week 3.
