A common refrain from Green Bay Packers fans and writers is that the team’s defense under Dom Capers has a “bend but don’t break” mentality. This phrase has been used to describe Capers’ units in Green Bay all the way back to the Super Bowl year in 2010, but has also come up in 2015 and as recently as last November.
In general, the idea seems to be that Capers’ defenses give up lots of yardage to the opposition, but somehow are able to avoid giving up large point totals to opponents.
