Cheese Curds, 11/16: Titans provide big challenge for Packers’ ascending run game

Two years ago on a cold, snowy night, the Green Bay Packers racked up 40 points and 234 rushing yards against the Tennessee Titans, earning a massive victory at home that helped propel them to home-field advantage in the postseason. This year, the two teams meet once again at Lambeau Field, but Tennessee’s defense should make it much tougher for Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon to impose their will.

This season’s Titans defense is struggling against the pass, but they are an elite rushing defense. Tennessee far and away ranks as the number one run defense by DVOA and that poses a major challenge for a Packers team whose offense has followed the fortunes of its running game all season.
