Ahead of the 2019 season — which begins in just 50 days — Pro Football Focus have ranked every run defense in the NFL. Despite their work this offseason, the Green Bay Packers haven’t received a great ranking, coming in at No. 18.
If the Packers go on to finish in this position in run defense this year, it’ll be a slight improvement on the 2018 season, when they ranked 22nd in this category. Green Bay allowed 119.9 rushing yards per game.
PFF has all three of the Packers’ NFC North rivals ranked higher in run defense for 2019, with the Chicago Bears leading the league.
