However, the surprise blowout was not only a recent thorn in the team's side but also a wake-up call to the defense, according to standout safety Evan Williams.
Green Bay Packers safety Evan Williams stated on Up & Adams that the team's 35-14 Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons served as a necessary turning point for the defense. Williams described the Thursday Night Football blowout as a kick in the mouth that prompted vital leadership discussions among players and coaches.
