Packers have surprisingly stuffed the run of late, but can they keep it up?
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Don’t look now, but the Green Bay Packers are figuring out how to stop the run. In Sunday’s 20-3 win over the Rams, Green Bay allowed just 68 yards on 26 carries, amounting to an uninspiring 2.6 yards per rush by Los Angeles. Rookie defensive tackle Colby Wooden was told after Sunday’s win that the Packers held the Rams to 68 rushing yards. Top back Kyren Williams missed Sunday’s game with an ankle injury — he leads the Rams with 97 carries, 456 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns — and the Packers took advantage. We’ve been doing a really good job.” Up next for the rolling Packers run defense is a Pittsburgh Steelers team that ranks 15th in the NFL in offensive EPA per rush.
