After containing Jalen Hurts as a runner, Packers defense now faces another challenge in Anthony Richardson

The Green Bay Packers fell short in a number of areas during their Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. However, one area where they did a solid job was containing the scrambling ability of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Hurts, who scored 15 times on the ground and rushed over 600 yards in 2023, finished with only 33 yards on 13 attempts for an average of 2.5 yards per carry. This was a much better showing than the previous meeting against the Eagles’ quarterback when he gashed the Packers to the tune of 157 rushing yards back in 2022.
