The Packers defense hasn’t been bad this year, but I don’t trust them to limit the Chicago running backs this week. Green Bay gave up over 100 yards to the Bengals rushing attack a week ago and allowed Cincinnati to put up 24 points on the day.

An area where you might be safe with playing Green Bay’s defense, however, is that Glennon is turnover prone. He’s already thrown three interceptions this season (to just three touchdowns) and is not exactly the quarterback of the future for the Bears. He was also sacked twice last week.

Despite the turnovers, however, I still wouldn’t roll with this defensive unit. Green Bay’s secondary allowed A.J. Green to go for over 100 yards last week and made Andy Dalton look good again. While Glennon won’t have those same results (he has no one to throw to), it’s a known fact that the Packers defense isn’t what it used to be when they were in the Super Bowl.

Sit Green Bay’s defense if you have them on your team.
