The Green Bay Packers are facing multiple challenges on a short week before Thursday Night Football, but finding a way to slow down Derrick Henry might be the biggest challenge of them all.
Despite the win in overtime against the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers gave up another 159 rushing yards in Week 10, allowing 5.1 yards per rushing attempt. They are now 26th in the league in rushing defense with 140.6 yards allowed per game on the ground. Football Outsiders is even lower on Green Bay’s run-stopping ability. They have the Packers as the 30th-ranked run defense in the league by DVOA, ahead of only the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns.
