Packers found offensive success with Mike McCarthy-esque game plan to attack Eagles

If Matt LaFleur’s game plan against a gimpy Philadelphia Eagles secondary had a catchy internet name it would be #ThrowbackThursday. The Green Bay Packers went to bread-and-butter West Coast concepts and a spread attack, breaking tendencies by doing what it used to do under Mike McCarthy. Throw the ball early and often, eschew play-action, play from shotgun, and let Aaron Rodgers be Aaron Rodgers.

Would that approach have been different with Jamaal Williams healthy for the entire game, or if Sidney Jones doesn’t go out?
