I think pass defense stats can be sort of misleading. When you're ranked as low as the packers are in rush defense, you're gonna be pretty high in pass, because everyone knows they can run on you. I would be much nicer if they were in the top 10 in both run AND pass, thats when you know you have a dominating defense.
That said the pass defense has played extremely well, especially with 2 starters out in the D backfield. If they can just start playing the run a little better they will be virtually unstopable. The titan's will be a very important test.

I disagree. When you're ranked low in rush defense you should expect your pass defense to be ranked low also, because any team would run the ball down your throat and NOT pass. Why should they? Until you stop the run, I'll continue to run, and I won't pass until you make me do it.
What these stats tell me is that opposing teams are throwing the ball every so often to present a balanced attack, and our DB's are making them pay for that. Hence the picks and the wins.
