The Green Bay Packers have another winnable matchup in Week 5, this time in London against the New York Giants. However, if the Packers are going to be able to control this game, then they’re going to need to figure out how to defend the run and slow down star running back Saquon Barkley.
Run defense has been one of the bigger weaknesses for the Packers this season. According to Football Outsiders, the Packers rank just 28th in the league in run defense DVOA, ahead of only Houston, Cleveland, New England, and Detroit.
