Through three games, the Green Bay Packers defense has been very good at keeping points off the scoreboard. Joe Barry’s group currently ranks sixth in points per game allowed and has given up a total of just 45 points, 17 of which came in the first half against Minnesota.
A key contributor to Green Bay’s success in this area has been their ability to get off the field on third downs, which has given the opponent few scoring opportunities. The Packers are allowing just two red zone trips per game, tied for the fifth-fewest in football.
