Packers’ passing game finds success when the team goes big

Matt LaFleur might not be a Sir Mix-A-Lot fan, but he likes big personnel and he cannot lie.

Through three weeks, the Green Bay Packers’ most effective way to create passing efficiency has been to throw with backs and tight ends on the field instead of spreading teams out with receivers. And there’s reason to believe they can get even better as the year progresses and the players become more comfortable in LaFleur’s offense.

It’s not just Danny Vitale streaking down the field on a fullback wheel or Robert Tonyan just missing a touchdown off his fingertips on a go route.
