Packers’ top 10 defensive plays from the 2019 season

Highlights of the Packers’ top 10 defensive plays from the 2019 season.

The Packers defense looked and felt a lot different in 2019. Gone were the familiar faces of Clay Matthews and Mike Daniels. Enter the Smith brothers, Adrian Amos, and Darnell Savage.
