GREEN BAY – Green Bay Packers defensive end Rashan Gary had his best game of the season in Sunday’s 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans with a sack, five tackles, two quarterback hits and several pressures.
Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley had promised to find ways to get Gary more one-on-one blocks, but this was the most he had moved Gary around to get him free.
Numerous times, Hafley had Gary stand up in a linebacker position and rush up the middle. Other times, he had Gary loop around from his end position to the middle, hoping his teammates would eat up blocks that would create a lane for him to get to the quarterback.
