While there are certainly still things to work on for the Green Bay Packers in all phases after a 2-0 start, the defense remains one of the team’s strong points after two weeks. Holding the Vikings’ offense to just 16 points despite being placed in tough situations in the second half, the Packers’ defense finished the day with four takeaways. Outside of a handful of big plays that helped pad the stat line, the Vikings struggled to move the ball for the majority of the game.
Aiding the cause was the Packers’ ability to contain Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, two players this author referred to as public enemies one and two heading into Sunday’s game.
