Tuesday Cheese Curds: Kenny Clark had a Fields day in Packers’ win over the Bears

Not sure who else needs to hear this, but Kenny Clark is really good at football.

To be honest, Clark’s dominance has been on display for years but he perhaps never made as big and as loud of a statement as he did in the closing moments of the Green Bay Packers’ 24-14 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

The Packers were up 24-14 in the latter stages of the fourth quarter and Chicago was driving the ball down the field and entered field goal territory. Getting the game back to within a score would have forced the Packers to at least get one or two forced downs on their next drive to seal the victory.

Then Clark happened.

With shades of Reggie White in Super Bowl XXXI, Clark sacked Bears quarterback Justin Fields on two of the final three plays of the drive, forcing a punt and securing a fifth straight Packers victory.

Packers fans know how good Clark is and so does the team judging by the contract they gave him last year. Yet it does seem like the national media does not give him the same level of respect.

What else does a guy have to do? Clark is a game wrecker, plain and simple. Underestimate him at your own risk.

They say a strong pass rush can help a depleted secondary but what can help a depleted pass rush? Dominate defensive line play and the Packers continue to get it out of Clark.
