Pettine Knows the Packers Run Defense Needs to Improve

Mike Pettine held a conference call with members of the media on Friday. One major issue the Packers defensive coordinator addressed was the team’s run defense which clearly needs to improve in 2020.

Last season, the Packers ranked 23rd in the NFL in rushing yards allowed and opponents averaged an unacceptable 4.7-yards per carry against the Green Bay defense.

When we last saw the team on the field, the Pack allowed the San Francisco 49ers to gain 285 yards on the ground and score four rushing touchdowns in Green Bay’s 37-20 defeat in the NFC Championship Game.
