Packers game planning for Justin Fields with run defense tested again

One week after the Green Bay Packers defense was run over by the Philadelphia Eagles, they will face another run-heavy opponent in the Chicago Bears, who will put this porous unit to the test.

Led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Eagles rushed for a whopping 363 rushing yards against Green Bay at 7.4 yards per rush. Hurts totaled 157 yards while running back Miles Sanders rushed for 143, with most of his damage coming between the tackles. Undisciplined football by the Packers, which included over 20 missed tackles, poorly set edges, and an inability to shed blocks, was fully taken advantage of by the Eagles.
