Packers Film Room: Defense sacks Justin Fields 5 times in Week 18

The Green Bay Packers defense turned in another solid outing to close out the season and help propel the team into the playoffs. They held a hot Chicago Bears offense to just nine points, 117 total passing yards (Fields had 148 but lost 31 yards on sacks), and 75 rushing yards. The defense sacked Fields five total times in this game.

Five different players recorded sacks on defense: Quay Walker, rookies Karl Brooks and Lukas Van Ness, Kenny Clark, and Devonte Wyatt. But really, the entire defense deserves credit for this effort as the sticky man coverage threw off the timing of Fields with his receivers, caused him to drop his eyes, and forced him to hold the ball.
