Green Bay’s defense remains the fantasy focal point as Jeff Hafley pushes patience on takeaways, charting every chance to rip the ball and swat at interceptions. The unit has done well limiting explosive plays and pressuring quarterbacks, with two early picks signaling payoff on the horizon.

Heading into Sunday night in Dallas, the takeaway pursuit figures to be the spark plug for a Packers squad riding a hot defense. The Cowboys’ turnover-heavy start tests Green Bay’s process-driven approach, but the trend toward more turnovers is expected to bear fruit as the season unfolds.

Green Bay kicked off 2025 with a statement 27-13 win over Detroit, riding a surgical Love-led offense and a ferocious defense. Love connected for two TDs on 16 of 22 attempts, while Packers receivers combined for 188 yards. Micah Parsons flashed immediately, pressuring Goff and contributing to a pivotal Williams interception, as Green Bay chased down the Lions with four sacks and stifled Detroit’s run game.

Packers’ rookies and veterans alike shined: Doubs and Reed torched the end zone, Kraft hauled in a 15-yard score, and Wyatt’s pressure helped seal the win alongside Gary and Van Ness. Detroit could only muster 46 rushing yards and faced a swarming GB defense, while Gibbs and Montgomery lingered in the backfield for the Lions.
