Packers Defense Must Stop the Run to Beat Browns

Still reeling from a last second loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, the Browns will come into Lambeau Field on Christmas Day in desperation mode. At 7-7 they are still very much alive in the AFC North, with one loss separating first place from fourth. They are hopeful to have at least QB Baker Mayfield and HC Kevin Stefanski returning from covid protocols, just 2 of 22 total players/staff members who missed last week’s game. Regardless of having their preferred QB under center, expect Cleveland to rely heavily on Nick Chubb and the ground game. The Packers defense will need to be prepared to stop the run in order to head into 2022 still on top of the NFC.
