TIGHTENING UP<br />
Green Bay’s pass defense made noticeable strides in 2012, with the team<br />
finishing the season ranked No. 11 in the <strong>NFL</strong> (218.3 ypg).<br />
That was more than an 81-yard improvement from Green Bay’s average<br />
in 2011, when the Packers allowed a league-high 299.8 yards per game.<br />
In their Week 16 win over the Titans, the Packers allowed just 101<br />
net passing yards, the fifth time this season that Green Bay limited its<br />
opposition to less than 120 net passing yards. That ranked No. 1 in the<br />
league this season:<br />
