Packers miss season-high 13 tackles on defense vs. Broncos

According to charting from Pro Football Focus, the Green Bay Packers missed 13 tackles — tying a season-high — during Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Of the 13 missed tackles, eight came from the secondary, including three from nickel corner Keisean Nixon and two each from cornerback Rasul Douglas and safety Darnell Savage.

The Packers previously missed 13 tackles against the Detroit Lions in Week 4.

Nixon missed two key tackle attempts. He swung and missed badly on Russell Wilson in the open field during a 21-yard scramble in the first half, and he missed a tackle for loss in the backfield on Javonte Williams on a run that eventually gained 21 yards in the second half.
