Douglas Deals with Defenders’ Dilemma vs. Scrambling Quarterbacks

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Cornerback Rasul Douglas’ Green Bay Packers debut was noteworthy on two fronts.

First and foremost, he wasn’t Isaac Yiadom. After Yiadom was responsible for two big gains as Chicago drove to a touchdown on the opening series last week, Douglas stepped up in a big way in his Packers debut and gave up only three rather trivial completions the rest of the game.

Second, he was flagged for roughing the passer with about 1 minute left in the first half. It was a case of no harm, no foul. Offensive holding meant offsetting penalties, and Dean Lowry knocked the Bears out of field-goal range with a third-down sack.
