Could using CB Rasul Douglas outside more get Packers' secondary on track?

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Before the season started, safety Darnell Savage said the Green Bay Packers’ defense looked even better on the field than it did on paper.

It’s the other way around now.

While the Packers rank fifth in the NFL in both fewest yards and points allowed, they've looked a whole lot worse on the field during their 3-2 start.

Their latest outing, the 27-22 loss to the New York Giants in London, featured five straight possessions -- three touchdowns and two field goals -- without a defensive stop.
