Considering the talent which comprised the 2021 Green Bay Packers defense, more may have been expected in the sack department.
The Packers had 39 sacks a season ago, which ranked in the middle of the pack compared to the rest of the league and was down from 41 sacks in both the 2019 and 2020 campaigns.
More firepower has been added in 2022, and expectations are now high among fans and pundits alike that the Packers defense could become one of the NFL’s truly elite units. Increasing the team sack total would go a long way to achieving such a goal.
