Yes, it was against a defense that might end up as one of the worst of all time — none has ever allowed 260 passing yards and 160 rushing yards per game in a full season, the way the Bengals are now. But to paraphrase his locker room speech, Johnson wasn’t about to apologize.
The Packers are on top of the North at 5-2-1, followed closely by the Bears and Lions at 5-3 and the Vikings at 4-4. It’s the only division in the NFL in which every team is .500 or better.
