The Packers have had problems stopping the run all year. It was the same story on Sunday as the Steelers ran through, around and over the Packers en route to a 23-19 win.
The Packers allowed 211 rushing yards to the Falcons, 211 to the Lions and 96 to a Raiders team that didn’t rush for over 76 yards in the first four games. Then there was 145 yards to the Broncos and 205 to the Steelers.
It’s not just that the Packers are getting gashed at such an alarming rate, it’s how it’s being done. For some reason, Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry is laying out the red carpet by only having two defensive linemen on the field at times.
