Packers run defense will be tested right away by Bears offense

The Green Bay Packers run defense is going to be tested right away this season when they take on the Chicago Bears in Week 1.

At running back, Chicago has Khalil Herbert who averaged 5.7 yards per rush last season—the second highest mark in football, according to PFF. Herbert missed the second matchup with the Packers last season, but in Week 2, he totaled 38 yards on just four carries.

Then, of course, at quarterback, there is Justin Fields who rushed for over 1,100 yards last season, including a 55-yard touchdown run against Green Bay in Week 13.
