It is no secret that the Green Bay Packers have arguably one of the best defenses in the NFL today. Their secondary is stacked with elite talent and the defense as a hole has become the best scoring defense in the league this season with 7 TDs to date.
Charles Woodson, Al Harris, AJ Hawk...the list goes on and on of great defensive players on the Packers and finally the defense might get their much deserved recognition if they set the NFL record that they are on pace to do this season.
Defensive end Jason Hunter put the Packers one step closer to making NFL history after recovering a fumble for a touchdown in the blowout win over division rival Chicago Bears last week. In fact, the touchdown by Hunter in week 11 broke a record by a past Packers team which was set way back in 1966.
With just three touchdowns on defense for the Green Bay Packers, they will tie the 1998 Seattle Seahawks record of 10 touchdowns. There is a very good possibility that the Packers will break this record with the final games of the season. Maybe even in the next two games as both the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers tend to throw interceptions every week.
Even if Green Bay doesn't break the NFL record, having 7 touchdowns from the defense is a milestone in only 10 games this season.
