Dean Lowry and Adrian Amos preaching effort and mentality in stopping the run

The Packers’ 2019 season ended because they couldn’t stop the run.

That’s not so much an oversimplification as a statement of fact. The 49ers had their way with the Packers on the ground, and the Packers were summarily bounced from the playoffs as a result.
