Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine returning next season

The Packers are a few days removed from their let down in the NFC Championship game, but the work to get to the Super Bowl next season has already begun.

All season the defense was carry the team. General Manager Brian Gutekunst concentrated on the defense last off-season by signing the Smith Bros and Adrian Amos when free agency kicked off and continued bringing talent to that side of the football by drafting Darnell Savage and Rashan Gray.

The defense was so impressive in their week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears that the face of the franchise, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers proclaimed, “We have a defense”.
