[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 676802, member: 1242"] [URL]http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2016/09/12/packers-defense-out-earn-equal-billing/90259388/[/URL] There's been a lot of talk about how great Minnesota's defense is and how they had the 5th ranked D in the league last year while the Packers were only 15th. But that doesn't tell the real or whole story. The Packers D allowed only 37 more total yards last season than the Viqueens so that's the difference between 15th and 5th in the listing. The Packers allowed an average of 20.2 ppg to Minny's 18.9 but that includes points scored by the opposition on offensive turnovers as well. Green Bay held opponents to under 20 points in a game 7 times in 2015; the Vikes did 10. But taking a look at more telling stats shows that the Packers' D is at least as good as theirs, at least based on the 2015 performance. The Packers defense gave up 6.1 ypc on their passing defense, the Queens 6.2. The ypc rushing against the Packers was 4.5, against the Vikings 4.3. The Pack had 43 qb sacks, 16 INT's, 6 fumble recoveries. They had 43 sacks, 13 INT's and 9 fumble recoveries. The average number of plays per drive was 5.7 (GB) to 5.9(M). The average opponent time of possession perdrive was 2:37 (GB) to 2:42(M). The average net yards per drive against the Packers was 30.4 to 31.1 against the Viqueens. The opponent scoring average per drive against the Packers was 1.66 to 1.70 for the Vikings. The Packers defense allowed a score on 31.3% of the opponent drives against them; The Queens allowed 33.3%. The Packers forced a turnover on 11.5% of opponent drives against them while Minny did it 11.9% of the time. Stats are from profootballreference.com [/QUOTE]
