In Sunday's 24-22 walk-off win against Houston, the Packers held the Texans to just 197 total yards of offense. Yes, you read that right: 197 total yards of offense. Houston was 5-1 and averaging 375 total yards per game offensively coming into the match up with Green Bay.

Houston was able to run the ball effectively (142 yards, 4.3 yards per rush), but could get nothing going in the passing game. CJ Stroud was held to a career-low 86 yards passing and a 22 QBR (3rd worst in career), sacked 4 times and hit 6 times. Stefon Diggs was held to 23 yards on 5 catches.

The Packers defense under former defensive coordinator Joe Barry had become known for turning mediocre QBs into superstars. Bryce Young in particular is one of the most notable lowlights. In his final 10 games in the 2023 season, Carolina's offense averaged 10.9 points per game, and Young was averaging 167.5 passing yards per game. But against Green Bay? Young threw for 312 yards and put up 30 points. Bryce Young has since been benched as the starter in Carolina.

But wait, it gets better.

After a Monday Night Football loss to the New York Giants, the Packers defense created a star for a week out of Tommy DeVito (who the hell is Tommy DeVito?) Like most before him, DeVito went on to have a couple more rough games as the Giants QB before inevitably fading into obscurity, his name never heard again.

Fortunately for Green Bay, the disturbing trend is starting to reverse under new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Instead of being notorious for being the team that the no names have a career day against, they're becoming known for being the team that the superstars have days to forget against.
