6 biggest takeaways from Packers’ overtime win vs. Patriots in Week 4
Another week, another dominant Rashan Gary performance
Offensive linemen have no answer for Rashan Gary. The Packers hoped Gary would have a breakout season in 2022. Four games in, he is delivering just that.
Gary has made at least one sack in all four games this season. He had two on Sunday afternoon.
The former first-round pick finished the game with seven tackles, one tackle for loss, two sacks, and two quarterback hits.
He also made one of the defensive plays of the day.

With his power, speed, and athleticism, it’s game over when Gary is one-on-one. He continues to dominate in both run defense and when rushing the passer.
He was underrated last season despite having a career year, but Gary is making sure everyone knows how good he is this year.
We’re only four games in, but he is well on his way to setting new career-highs in sacks. He now has five sacks in four games. That puts him on pace for 21.25 sacks, which would easily beat his career-best of 9.5, which he set last season.
Gary can single-handedly shut down a drive with a big run stop or sack. And he is making key plays every game.
He had his best performance of the season against the Patriots.
