Packers defense doesn't help Rodgers

Mike Sando uses TruMedia’s EPA model to show how the Packers defense has been no help to Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs:

“The Packers’ latest playoff game started to slip away when the defense inexplicably called for man coverage on the final play of the first half. Brady’s touchdown pass on that play produced a 5.4-point swing in expected points added (EPA) by TruMedia’s model. The Packers finished this game with a combined minus-10.4 EPA on defense and special teams. That was bad by NFL standards, ranking 18th out of 24 single-game team performances in the playoffs this season, but the Packers have been worse than that six times in those 20 playoff games with Rodgers starting.”
