The Packers’ defense embraces its No. 1 run ranking, but they have to be aware that six of their eight games have come against run offenses that rank 22nd or worse. It includes the New York Giants (32), Minnesota (31), Detroit (27) and Jacksonville (26).

In those six games, the Packers have held the opposition to 2.46 yards per carry and three touchdowns.



The Titans are similarly successful against weak competition.

Seven of the nine run defenses they’ve faced are ranked 17th or worse. They include Cleveland (31), Miami (30), Houston (28), Jacksonville (24) and Indianapolis (22).

In those seven games, they have rushed for 4.62 yards per carry and nine touchdowns.

Against the No. 8-ranked Vikings, however, they ran 22 times for 64 yards, a 2.9 average. Against the No. 5-ranked San Diego Chargers, they rushed 19 times for 80 yards, a 4.2 average.

I like the Packers in a 2nd half walk.

Sounds like the Packers' offensive plan of switching personnel groups is here to stay. Coach Mike McCarthy said he's worked with 21 different personnel groups in his game plan this week. "The structure that we're in now is here to stay," McCarthy said Thursday. "But no-huddle is a very important component because we're very good at it when it's used the right amount of time."
