Defense…on the other side
Speaking of defense, the Packers don’t have a great group of stoppers. Yes, there are some stars such as Clay Matthews, A.J. Hawk and Julius Peppers. However, the Pack ranked 24th against the pass and 25th against the run in 2013.
Not so good.
Plus, B.J. Raji was lost for the season. The addition of Peppers will certainly help, but who is going to cover Percy Harvin? Who will bring down Marshawn Lynch up the middle? Who will contain Russell Wilson on the outside?
The Seahawks are known for their defense, but in this game there is the possibility that the offense could put on a show.
