Eddie Lacy runs to redemption

Will Mike McCarthy's play-calling revive the Packers' offense for the rest of the season?

Green Bay — In the moments before his 24th and final carry, Eddie Lacy stood in the backfield as a rain-swept crowd bellowed a loving refrain.

For three hours the stadium of 78,369 watched Lacy, their beloved albeit recently maligned tailback, bludgeon the Dallas Cowboys with punishing runs that chewed up yards. Twenty-three times he carried the ball on a sloppy track at Lambeau Field on Sunday, and after 123 yards the fans craved more.

A chant began to crescendo.
