The Green Bay Packers have allowed 174.3 rushing yards per game in their last three contests.
Jordan Howard and the Philadelphia Eagles ran all over the Green Bay Packers in their 34-27 winAdrian Peterson set the NFL’s single game rushing record with 296 yards when he was a member of the Minnesota Vikings back in 2007.
Next, the Packers must face Elliott — arguably the best running back in football — along with an offensive line that’s ranked No. 1 in the NFL by Pro Football Focus.“I know we better fix it otherwise teams are going to – that’s going to be their blueprint to beating us,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “They’re going to try to run the football and grind it out. We’ve got to do a much better job to get teams – stuff the run on those early downs to get them in those longer yardage situations.
Green Bay has been outstanding against the pass, ranking No. 3 in yards per game allowed and fifth in opposing quarterback rating . But Green Bay defensive coordinator Mike Pettine knows his team can’t excel just half the time and expect to succeed. Minnesota ran for a whopping 198 yards in Week 2 and averaged 7.3 yards per carry. Standout running back Dalvin Cook ran for 154 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown burst.
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz added: “It was huge. The running game, the O-line and those two backs especially, that’s huge. It’s huge for me, it takes a lot of pressure off me. To move the ball the way we were able to on the ground tonight was huge.” Over the last eight games that season, Green Bay allowed just 86.4 rushing yards per game and 3.60 yards per carry.
