What in the world happened to that “championship level defense” Matt LaFleur was talking about last week? After playing four consecutive tremendous games, the Packer defense, particularly the secondary, got barbecued by the explosive Minnesota Vikings.
The defeat was especially disheartening considering the Green Bay defensive front put decent pressure on Kirk Cousins and, for the most part, shut down the Vikings running game. But all Cousins had to do was throw it up, knowing there would be either a wide open receiver waiting for it, or the Packer defensive back would be hopelessly outplayed for the ball.
