Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon emphasizes game plan simplicity
Summary

Jonathan Gannon, the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator, stated that he refrains from adding to the team's game plan late in the week, following a 23-13 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers, now 4-2, have allowed 34 points during their current three-game winning streak. Gannon's approach aims to reduce mental stress on players, focusing instead on executing a simplified game plan. He defined the defense's play style in terms of motor and violence, emphasizing that players must also be accountable for their execution. The Packers will face the Detroit Lions next, who are ranked second in the NFL in scoring.
