Green Bay Packers –
It's a ripple effect: the offense isn't putting up video-game numbers, so opposing offenses don't have to take as many chances, so the sack and turnover numbers are down, so the defensive scores are down.

Pittsburgh Steelers –
Good to have James Harrison and Troy Polamalu back, even if Head & Shoulders only stuck around for a little while. The Steelers are starting to hit like previous Pittsburgh teams, and that's going to lead to defensive scores.
