Wow, some of these numbers, especially scoring are not fantastic.

Let's chart this:

Year Scoring Yards FOrnk
2009      1      1     1 (GB was #2)
2010      6      3     5 (GB was #2 again)
2011     20      5     2 (GB was 25th)
2012     20      8     9 (GB was 8th)
2013bb   20     10     4 (GB was 31st)

Football Outsiders has those defenses that got scored on as performing pretty well from an efficiency standpoint, down by down. Don't remember that team well, but was that the game that just shut Rodgers down in Buffalo?

When a defense is 5th in yards allowed and 20th in points allowed (2011), the offense usually has something to do with it. I looked it up. Jets offense was 25th, and Jets turned the ball over 34 times. Sanchez was intercepted 18 times, and they lost 16 fumbles.

Was that the year an O lineman's ass caused a Sanchez fumble, returned for a TD by NE?

The legendary butt fumble occurred on Thanksgiving Day the following year.
