The Packers came from behind on Sunday to win 27-23 over the Cardinals, a game which they did not lead until late in the 4th quarter and the defense was both a burden at times and a savior at others.

The positive: the defense recorded six sacks and pressured quarterback Jacoby Brissett on 19 of his 46 dropbacks per Pro Football Focus, with one sack resulting in a fumble and recovery by the defense. They would have had seven sacks but a hip drop penalty negated a Micah Parsons sack, which would have given him four in the game instead of three.

On the first sack of the game, Parsons won off the right edge but the sack was also created by good coverage on the back end of the defense to force Jacoby Brissett into holding the ball too long with nowhere to throw.
