"The Packers' 2024 defense ranked in the top 10 in total defense (314.5 yards allowed per game), No. 7 in run defense (99.4 ypg), No. 6 in scoring defense (19.9 points allowed per game), No. 4 in takeaways (31), and tied for No. 8 in sacks (45). Hafley's defense, a 4-3 scheme, defeated Miami, 30-17, on Thanksgiving 2024, a game that caused Miami LB Jordyn Brooks to infamously say he thought the Dolphins played "soft"."
