Cheese Curds, 1/20: Film breakdowns explain Packers’ run & play-action success vs. Rams

If the Green Bay Packers get their running game working on Sunday the same way they did against the Los Angeles Rams’ defense, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be in a lot of trouble. The Packers rolled up 188 yards on the ground in the Divisional round, taking advantage of light boxes to attack a Rams defense that often sent multiple safeties deep in coverage.
