It’s now or never for Packers struggling run defense vs. Raiders

If the Green Bay Packers defense can’t slow the Las Vegas Raiders run game in Week 5, then there might be little hope that this unit turns things around this season.

The Raiders are struggling mightily to run the ball this season despite having Josh Jacobs, who is averaging only 2.7 yards per rush on 62 attempts. As a team, Las Vegas is averaging only 3.0 yards per carry this season, tied for the lowest average in football with Tampa Bay. The offensive line unit ranks 23rd in ESPN’s run-block win rate metric.
