Packers’ ‘ridiculous’ pass rush vs. Titans showed why sights are set on Super Bowl
New York TimesNASHVILLE, Tenn. — Only three times in franchise history have the Packers sacked the opposing quarterback more than they did in Sunday’s 30-14 win over the Titans. The Titans ranked 29th in pressure percentage allowed on dropbacks through the season’s first two weeks, according to TruMedia, so Green Bay knew there would be opportunities to disrupt the quarterback. According to TruMedia, the Packers blitzed on only 20.5 percent of Levis’ dropbacks and only two of their sacks came on blitzes, making Green Bay’s domination up front on defense even more impressive. Last two weeks, we was just following the game plan, and pretty much this just showed how dominant we could be.” “It felt good to hit the edge a little bit,” defensive end Rashan Gary added, “rush without having to contain every pass.” The Packers didn’t just register sacks; they registered impactful sacks. Then my dog Lukas scooped it up.” Enagbare caused havoc in the backfield again early in the fourth quarter, rushing inside and swiping past center Lloyd Cushenberry III on third-and-7, forcing Levis to spin left, right into the grasp of Smith for the first of the veteran’s two sacks.
