In the first part of this week’s Film Room breakdown, I broke down some things the Packers defense did exceptionally well versus the Lions. Part two here today shows us that they still have some issues to sort out, mainly communication and playing the correct responsibilities in their man coverages in the red zone. The two touchdowns they gave up provide the examples.
On the Lions first touchdown pass, they are running mesh crossers with a fast motion underneath. The inline tight to the right, Shane Zylstra (No. 84) is the lone crosser to the left from the offense’s right side.
