Packers Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine will return for a third season in Green Bay. This according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur met with the media on Wednesday morning and said his staff is still in the process of evaluating. The Packers’ 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers was highlighted by the lack of rush defense. The Packers gave up a season high 285 yards on the ground including a career day from 49ers running back Raheem Mostert. Mostert had 220 yards on 29 carries (7.6 avg.) and four touchdowns. LaFluer said the defense did a lot of great things but the last game “was very disappointing in terms of our performance” and just wasn’t good enough “especially when you get to a championship game like that and you know what’s at stake.” But LaFleur said the San Francisco game wasn’t just the fault of the defense.
In LaFleur’s first season, the Packers went from 6-9-1 to 14-4 and the NFC championship game this season as second-year coordinator Pettine improved the defense. The Packers gave up 19.6 points per game this year, a huge improvement from the 25 per game a year ago.
