“We knew we had to stop the run. That didn’t happen.”
Matt LaFleur’s summation of his defense’s performance against the Minnesota Vikings was spot on. The Green Bay Packers had no answer for Dalvin Cook even though the Vikings made it clear they were going to run it down their throats. In the end, they deserved to lose.
Seven games into 2020 and it seems very possible that the run defense could lead to this team’s downfall once again. Last year it was Raheem Mostert who racked up 220 yards on the ground and four touchdowns during the NFC Championship Game.
