Green Bay Packers and Interceptions

Lifted from a Bleacher Report article

The Green Bay Packers have had no problems taking the ball from opposing quarterbacks. In 13 games, the Packers have collected 27 interceptions. Tied for second, the Detroit Lions, New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers each have 18 picks.

Leading the pack, Charles Woodson has seven interceptions on his own. He has collected more interceptions than the whole Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings teams who have six each.

Individually, Woodson has single-handedly countered the Packers’ quarterbacks interceptions, a combined seven (Rodgers-six, Flynn-one). (Simply amazing)

Nine different players on the Packers roster have come up with interceptions this season. Five have come from linebackers, seven from safeties and 15 from cornerbacks.  

This with All-Pro safety Nick Collins on IR, several games without either starting inside linebacker etc… the Pack has not been as strong in terms of shutting town opposing teams this year but they do get the stops when they need them and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.
