Packers fans all remember how last season ended. The San Francisco 49ers literally ran right over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game, rushing for 285 yards and four touchdowns in a 37-20 defeat that saw 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo throw only eight passes all game.
Clearly, the Packers needed to improve their run defense this season if they hoped to return to the Super Bowl. Through four games, the Packers run defense is better than it was a year ago, but how much better is still a big question.
At the quarter pole, it’s difficult to say exactly how good the run defense is this season.
