The Green Bay Packers play the San Francisco 49ers today, in what should be a fun game and a close battle. The two teams are, in many ways, opposites of each other. On defense, the 49ers rank 2nd against the run and excel on tackling ballcarriers under their safety shell, where they rank 4th against pass-catching running backs, and 5th tight ends. While those are nice strengths, they’re terrible against outside receivers, and #1 receivers in particular, where they rank 31st. They are also 31st against deep passes.
