As great as the 2011 Packers record looked, their offense had to play almost perfectly each week and their defense needed almost a takeaway per game because they gave up yards in chunks.

One big reason for that: Nick Collins’ injury In 2009 and 2010, GB was the NFC’s best scoring defense 2011? Different story

same with Brady's defense that year in 2011. Gave up hella yards but still good at points allowed.
