Packers Film Breakdown: What’s going on with Green Bay’s run defense?

The Packers’ run defense is up to their old tricks. They allowed 219 yards on 25 attempts from Cleveland on Christmas. That’s 8.8 yards per attempt and if the Browns had wanted a 300-yard day, they could have easily had it. Their most recent performance drops them to 31st in the league in rush DVOA. Part of the reason for that is the way the defense is structured. Defensive coordinator Joe Barry likes to run with two-safety shells and light boxes. Not so coincidentally, the only team ranked below Green Bay, is the Los Angeles Chargers.
