What a difference four years makes.
The last time the Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals played each other was in 2013. The Packers had drafted multiple running backs in that spring’s draft, landing Eddie Lacy in round two and Johnathan Franklin in round four. The game was Franklin’s coming out party, as he had over 100 yards rushing in the contest.
This year, neither of those running backs is on the roster, with Lacy departing for Seattle in free agency and Franklin having suffered a career-ending neck injury later on in 2013.
