Za’Darius Smith, Packers lead the NFL in pressuring the quarterback

When the Green Bay Packers led the league in pressures after one week, confusing and harassing Mitch Trubisky, it could have been dismissed as an aberration. After all, Mike Pettine sewed a chicken suit for Trubisky in Week 1 last year as well. But then in Week 2, the Packers not only matched their dominant pass rush performance from Week 1 — they beat it.

After racking up 19 pressures against the Bears, Kenny Clark, Za’Darius Smith and Co. brought down the house on Kirk Cousins to the tune of 25 pressures against the Vikings.
