The Joe Barry defense continues to make progress, but it seems like for every two steps forward there’s a step back.
First, let’s take a look at the good:
On Sunday, the Packers forced four three-and-outs, including three consecutive. They managed to stop the Bengals in short yardage conversion situations twice. These are things we’re not used to seeing out of the Packers’ defense.
The Bengals were just 5/14 on third down. The Packers notched three sacks and two interceptions.
However, in other situations, the Packers were abysmal.
Fourth down continues to be a struggle.
