Sure, they give up a lot of 4th qtr garbage yards, but like ATL on Monday, if they could stop it, they would, right?

Trivia Time- whose record would GB or NE break if they give up even a moderate amount of yards on Sunday?

Yeah, doesn't seem like GB or NE can get teams off the field. The really telling part is that their defenses don't seem to be designed that way intentinally . They both don't have a "bend don't break " defense. You can tell that by....

The % of teams making 3rd downs on them
3rd Down %
NO - 32.8 (#5)
NE - 44.1 (#29)
GB - 42.9 (#28)

But our red zone defense really really needs to improve.
Red Zone Efficiency
NO - 64.7% (#31)
NE - 53.5% (#18)
GB - 53.1% (#17)
