It’s about time the Green Bay Packers had a dominant running game.
At its best in 2013 and 2014, Mike McCarthy’s offense had great balance between the run game and passing game. On many occasions, teams were forced to stack the box to try to stop the powerful ground game led by Eddie Lacy. In his rookie season, Lacy finished third in the NFL with 11 rushing touchdowns. In 2014, Lacy had 13 total touchdowns (nine rushing, four receiving).
Aaron Jones can achieve similar success in 2019, and he can be the Packers’ first running back to put up double-digit touchdowns since Lacy five years ago.
