Packers D was dominant in the NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks a couple years ago (until the unthinkable happened). This game reminded me of that one a little bit, except for the outcome.

We didn't have to worry about the D or Bostick jumping out of stands to eff up GB's chance to recover an onside.
This also demonstrates the relationship between the proficiency of the offense and the D's stats. The D today gave up 225, which if averaged for season easily makes GB the #1 D by far. But, iIf GB has a couple of 3 and outs in those last few drives, the D gives of another 100-150 yards and stat wise is in the middle of the pack.
