In fact, the Packers went from allowing 168 passing yards in their first three games to 256 in the last three.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">The Packers are also still allowing the NFL&#8217;s 12th-highest completion percentage (67.7%). And over the last three games, that mark jumps to 70.3%. Allowing a combined 498 yards with 4 touchdowns and no interceptions to Joe Flacco and Jacoby Brissett is not exactly something to hang your hat on.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">And in the other game in that last three, Green Bay made Prescott look like a modern great. That&#8217;s not what the Packers risked the farm on when they acquired Micah Parsons before the season.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-8\">Jeff Hafley Has Expectations to Reach to Keep Head Coaching Buzz Alive<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">Hafley&#8217;s 2024 season was a strong one, but the team&#8217;s Parsons investment, not to mention Nate Hobbs&#8217; and others as well, dictates high expectations. Hafley&#8217;s been getting buzz as a head coaching candidate for next year, but if this unit can&#8217;t live up to expectations down the stretch, that could fizzle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">Of course, that scenario would be a mixed bag for Packers fans. If Hafley performs well enough to be considered for a head coaching role elsewhere, Green Bay would rather he stay. But if he stays because his coaching isn&#8217;t up to par, then that&#8217;s not a great scenario either.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley successfully evaded a reporter seeking answers on the team&#8217;s struggling secondary on Thursday.
