UNDER PRESSURE

* After recording six sacks in Week 1 at Philadelphia, the most by any NFL team on opening weekend, the Packers have followed that performance up with 10 more sacks in the next three games.
* Green Bay’s 16 sacks as a team through Week 4 are tied for the NFL lead with the N.Y. Giants and Tennessee. The Packers lead the league in sack yardage with 113 yards.
* The Packers' 16 sacks through the first four games are the most by a Green Bay defense to start the season since the 2001 squad registered 20 in the opening four contests.
* The 16 sacks are also the second most in a four-game span in Head Coach Mike McCarthy's four-plus seasons, trailing only the 17 posted by the Packers in 2006 (Weeks 7-10).
* Seven of the sacks have come courtesy of LB Clay Matthews, who leads the NFL in that category. DE Cullen Jenkins, who ranks second on the team with four sacks, has posted a sack in each game as well, the first time in his seven-year career that he has recorded one in four straight games. Green Bay is one of only two teams in the league to have two players with four-plus sacks (Kiwanuka/Umenyiora, N.Y. Giants).
* With Jenkins registering a sack in four consecutive games, this is the second straight year that the Green Bay defense has had a player accomplish that feat. Matthews posted sacks in four straight contests in 2009 (Weeks 12-15). The last Packer to register a sack in five straight games was Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (2000-01).
* The Packers’ six sacks in Week 1 were the most in a season opener by Green Bay since 2001, when the Packers registered seven sacks against the Lions on Sept. 9 at Lambeau Field. It was also the most in a game under McCarthy, matching the total of six vs. Detroit on Dec. 17, 2006.
* The Packers are already well ahead of their sack pace from last season, when Green Bay’s 16th sack didn’t come until Week 10 vs. Dallas.
* Green Bay posted four or more sacks in a game three times in 2009 on the way to 37 for the season, which ranked tied for 11th in the league.
