Winning on the road against a divisional opponent (and rival) is a great accomplishment. However, as with any victory, there are usually still aspects of a team’s performance that can be corrected. In the Packers’ case, it is obvious that there were issues with the run defense. For the most part, the Packers’ defensive line and outside linebackers were not the problem. B.J. Raji and Julius Peppers, for example, played well up front. The inside linebacker and defensive back groups, on the other hand, made many mistakes.
The first play that we will analyze is Matt Forte’s 22-yard run on the second play of the game.
