Does this list below look inconsistent to you ?
Sack totals by week, with a low of 0 and high of 8
2-1-1-2-5-8-1-2-3-3-5-3-1-2-1-1-0
.
That's actually the stat line from the World Champion eagles in 2024, who were lauded for their top of the league DL in both the regular season and especially in the Superb Owl.
The Packers sack stat line looks quite similar with ups and downs, although GB did deliver more sacks than the eagles front in 2024.
( 45 for GB and 41 for philly)
So why aren't writers hammering the eagles for an inconsistent pass rush ? Because the eagles won a Title and that changes perceptions
And this is pretty much how the NFL works; you don't make a living intercepting the Top QBs and you don't make a living getting sacks against the top OLs. Good teams kick ass vs the lesser opponents and have less success against the playoff teams.
The Packers DL did better than the Eagles DL across multiple categories. And that's a fact jack
Go Packers
