Slowing Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants’ run game needs to be priority No. 1 for the Green Bay Packers defense, and the game plan needs to reflect this goal.
Green Bay has allowed three 200-plus yard rushing performances by opposing offenses this season, including the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was a game where the Packers should have tried to put more of the onus on Kenny Pickett, and while adjustments were made and the play up front did improve, there was also a lot of Cover-2 looks early on that the Steelers were able to exploit.
