The Packers’ offensive line was in shambles in the middle of the season. However, they shut down Micah Parsons on Sunday, continuing a stretch of solid play.
GREEN BAY PACKERS
GREEN BAY Wis. – The old saying goes if you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have any.
There isn’t a saying like that for left tackles or right guards, but that is the world the Green Bay Packers were living in midway through the 2023 season.
Rasheed Walker wasn’t supposed to be entrenched as the starting left tackle. Instead, David Bakhtiari was supposed to be the blind-side protector for first-time starting quarterback Jordan Love.
Fast forward to Jan. 14, and the Packers’ offensive line is feeling as good as it has in years.
In their last three games of the regular season, they faced Carolina’s Brian Burns, Minnesota’s Danielle Hunter and Chicago’s Montez Sweat.
None of them sacked Jordan Love and were all relative non-factors in a three-game winning streak that catapulted the Packers from the doldrums of mediocrity and into the playoffs.
In the final three games of the regular season, Love was only sacked twice.
The Packers piled up 83 points in those three games.
Their playoff debut was a different challenge.
