Green Bay Packers News: Defense holding up its end of the bargain

The Green Bay Packers narrowly avoided an 0-2 start by scraping past the New York Jets with a twenty to seventeen overtime victory. Despite an offense that struggled throughout the contest and a concerning injury to Jayden Reed, the defense and special teams carried the squad to end a six-game losing streak dating back to last year.

Edge rusher Lukas Van Ness spearheaded the disruptive defensive unit, rewarding the franchise's patience with a stellar performance alongside fellow defenders Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft.
