“It starts up front,” Head Coach Mike McCarthy said roughly 24 hours after Green Bay’s 23-16 victory over the Bears. “The play style of our football team, number one, is what you’re looking for.
“I thought our offensive and defensive lines really set the pace and captured the line of scrimmage in the game. Our run-blocking unit is where it started.”
The offensive line paved the way toward 160 rushing yards, tied for the team’s second-highest total on the season. Meanwhile, the defensive front held one of the league’s top rushing offenses to just 55 yards on the ground, a season-best effort.
