Packers Defense Records Four Sacks, Forces Fumble
2 years agoThe Green Bay Packers defense surrendered 18 points, recorded four sacks, forced one fumble, and recovered it during the team's 27-24 victory overtime victory over the New England Patriots. Six of the Patriots' 24 points came off a pick-six by Jack Jones. It was an overall disappointing performance from a Packers defense that faced not only backup quarterback Brian Hoyer but third-stringer Bailey Zappe, who stepped in for the injured Hoyer. Green Bay has had trouble generating turnovers so far this season. They forced and recovered two fumbles last week but have just one interception through four games. Unless the team can force opposing offenses to make more mistakes, then they will be nothing more than a streaming option for fantasy purposes. They draw another plus matchup next week against the Daniel Jones-led Giants in London. Green Bay should be considered a streaming option in Week 5.
