Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence and three times is a trend, which makes the Green Bay Packers' stellar defense a trend for three weeks in a row. Whether that trend is a season long trend remains to be seen, but the Packers have looked like a different defense the last three weeks

I'm not gonna say this is all on Mike, because remember last year, they had some special defensive plan they were gonna work out, and it crashed and burned until Dom moved Clay into the middle. Still, I think having Mike over there is having a positive impact.

Maybe it's just that Raji and Perry are in contract years. lol Hope they keep it up though.

You wonder how much say Mike McCarthy is getting in these defensive game plans now.

The biggest difference in this defense is the defensive line. They are dictating the trenches rather than it being dictated to them. Early last year, they tried to move Matthews around and it didn't work right away so they went away from it. Later they Went back to it and dedicated to it and it started working.

Sometimes it just takes the right combination of players at the right positions for them to play to their potential. Having Raji back at the Nose combined with Daniels is paying dividends and making Jones, Pennel, Guion all better around them.

Energy is contagious on defense and once it gets rolling they all start catching it.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Mucky Tundra (8-Mar) : RB Kareem Hunt as well

Zero2Cool (8-Mar) : Tyreek Hill also arrested before or during Chiefs time for assault.
