Green and Bold: Blake Martinez Is for Real
There was a lot to like in Green Bay's 31-28 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12, aside from the final result.One of those bright spots absolutely has to be inside linebacker Blake Martinez, who is quickly becoming one of the Packers' best defenders.
Martinez was on the field for every snap against Pittsburgh, and he made the most of that opportunity. In fact, Martinez has played every snap on defense for the last four games.
Finishing with a game-high 15 tackles, a crucial interception of Ben Roethlisberger off an Ahmad Brooks deflection, and a fumble recovery, Martinez almost single-handedly kept the Packers in what turned out to be a surprisingly close game.
