Packers Vs. Saquon Barkly and a Look At First-Half Differential.
It is becoming an annoying trend -- the Green Bay Packers struggle at stopping the run. They switched defensive coordinators a season ago. They used both of their 2022 first round picks on defensive players, an inside linebacker and an interior lineman. They signed defensive tackle Jarran Reed. All to no avail. Joe Barry's unit is allowing five yards per carry through the first four games of the 2022 season, which ranks 24th in the NFL. They are also 22nd in rushing yards allowed per game (126.8 yards/game). Not to mention, they are one week removed from allowing 167 yards on the ground (5.1 yards/carry). And to boot, they will face their toughest test yet when they face off against Giants running back Saquon Barkley across the pond on Sunday (8:30 AM CST kick-off on NFL Network).
