The last time the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions met in Week 4 at Lambeau Field, the Lions ran wild on this Packers run defense, totaling 211 rushing yards at nearly five yards per attempt.
It was after that game that Matt LaFleur said that something had to change philosophically about their defense. While Joe Barry likes to utilize that split-safety look to take away the vertical passing threat, he and the coaching staff as a whole can’t be so rigid, as LaFleur put it, and need to be more willing to make adjustments.
